Generally, a lower level manager will irrigate at a <br /> <br />lower rate per hour than a high level manager. <br /> <br />Water users in the Grand Valley are charged at the rate of $7.00 per <br /> <br />acre regardless of the amount of water used. The cost of irrigating <br /> <br />will vary between management levels because of varying amounts of labor <br /> <br />used by the three management levels. Generally, a lower level manager <br /> <br />will use more water and require more labor time per acre because of <br /> <br />inefficient appl ication of water and/or an inefficient system. Current <br /> <br />labor cost (1976 prices) of irrigating at the three management levels <br /> <br />will vary as presented in the following tabulation. <br /> <br />UNIT COST LABOR COST BY MANAGEMENT LEVEL <br />SIZE PER HIGH MEDIUM LOW <br />(AC. ) ACRE <br /> --------------dollars per unit------------- <br />150 $ 7.49 1,123.50 <br />150 9.60 1,440.00 <br />150 12.23 1,834.50 <br />25 7.49 187.25 <br />25 9.60 240.00 <br />25 12.23 305.75 <br />10 7.49 74.49 <br />10 9.60 96.00 <br />10 12.23 122.30 <br /> <br />24 <br />
