Several <br />iterations of this process between the economist and the engineer <br />were sometimes necessary in order to develop the most economical <br /> <br /> <br />parcel and facilities layout. Those parcels that still exhibited <br /> <br /> <br />positive residual payment ca!;lacity after these further analyses were <br /> <br /> <br />then determined to be practicably irrigable. <br /> <br />0.2 SELECTION OF PARCELS FOR OFF-FARM DESIGN <br /> <br /> <br />Parcels to be considered for PIA analysis were identified in the Task <br /> <br /> <br />B Report along with on-farm irrigation costs. The Task B re!;lort <br /> <br /> <br />identified irrigation costs for handmove sprinkler, sideroll <br /> <br /> <br />sprinkler, gravity (furrow or basin), center pivot, and center pivot <br /> <br /> <br />with s!;lrinkler in the corners. computer tabulation com!;lared on- <br /> <br /> <br />farm irrigation costs to the crop !;layment capacity for an <br /> <br /> <br />alfalfa/barley crop rotation. <br /> <br />The first step in making this task analysis was determination of the <br /> <br />2 <br />
