Again, this effort will be closely coordinated <br />with the state's agronomist, and reviewed in light of experImen- <br />tal data available for the region. Although these sources will <br />provide much useful information, a representative sample of cur- <br />rent operators on and adjacent to the reservation will be' <br />interviewed to substantiate current yields and ascertain what <br />difficulties -can be a,nticipated in increasing' those yields. One <br />of the objectives of these interviews will be to determine wheth- <br />er yields are currently limited by historical practices, lack of <br />finances, or water (factors which could presumably be corrected); <br />or whether they are limited by altitude, soils or climatological <br />factors which cannot be controlled. <br /> <br />Subtask 10 <br /> <br />Contractor will project future markets and prices for each <br />crop. The first step will be to discern whether the potential <br />market for each crop should be considered "national" or "region- <br />al" in scope. <br /> <br />For products with a regional market only, projections will <br />be made of the size of that market and the price elasticity of <br />the product. An estimate will then be made of the price changes <br />that would result from the estimated increases iri total produc- <br />tion on reservation lands. Those products that have a national <br />market will be assumed to be sold at the national market price, <br />minus 'transportation and handling costs. <br /> <br />Products: Tabulation of potential crops, croplands, and yields <br />by cropandcrop16nd.
