rEnterprise budgets were developed for all of

the crops that are produced ou at least 1 percentof the cropped land in the mixed lands soilresource area. This area includes Bailey. Borden,Cochran, Dawson, Garza, Hockley, Lamb, Lubbock and Lynn counties.

All budgets on irrigated crops reflect theassumption of adequate supplies of undergroundirrigation water to obtain optimum production.All crops except corn were assumed irrigatedby sprinkler systems. Most of the com in thisarea is produced in Lamb and Bailey counties;hence, the budgets for corn are applicable specifically to these two counties.

The enterprise budgets developed for HighPlains III were based on the following assumedorganizations.

Irr igated Dryland(acres) (acres)

Farm size 800 1600Cotton allotment 265 530Feed grain base 400 800Other cropland 135 270

rThe machinery inventory (03000500) is ap

plicable to all situations since no difference inequipment was found between high level andaverage managers, and dryland units of approximately twice the size of irrigated farms havesimilar equipment inventories.

All calculations of government payments andcomments concerning set-aside requirements are

based on the 1971 farm program. All government payments indicated herein are net of normal crop share rent.

Land charges were calculated as the landlordsshare of the gross income less his proportionateshare of the variable inputs, if applicable, and80 percent of the fixed cost on the irrigationsystem. Normal crop share rentals in this areaprovide for the landlord to pay a portion of thecost of chemicals and the harvest on most crops.The exceptions in these budgets are alfalfa andpermanent pasture where the landlord pays noneof the costs of the variable inputs. A flat landcharge of S20 per acre was used for the establishment of both alfalfa and permanent pasture.In one instance, permanent pasture typical management, the land charge calculated as 14 of thegross return less 80 percent of the fixed cost onthe irrigation system was negative. In this case,a land charge of zero was used. The followingcrop shares were assumed.
