With the opportWlity to develop future water supplies in the basin, the NIIP <br />could be fully developed. Cropping pattcrns on the currently dcveloped lands consist of <br />alfalfa, wheat, barley, corn, and potatoes. It is anticipatcd that these same crops would <br />also be planted and in the same percentages on the Wldeveloped blocks. Based on these <br />percentages and the acreage to be developed, estimates were made of the crop revenues <br />that would be generated as a result offuture development' Table III-_displays the <br />projected cropping pattern, acreage, and crop revenue to be generated by future <br />development of NIIP lands. <br /> <br />Table III-_,-Projected additional crop revenues from future completion of NIJP ($) <br /> <br />Crop Acreage Revenue/acre T olal revenue/crop <br />Alfalfa 6,645 616 4,226,740 <br />Winter wheat 15,514 322 5,001,220 <br />Corn 10,039 422 4,231,270 <br />Dry beans 7,757 467 3,623,143 <br />Potaloes 5,475 2,657 15,643,242 <br />Total 45,630 32,727,615 <br /> <br />Using the above revenue (direct impact) and inputting it into the agriculture sectors of <br />the IMPLAN model results in the following regional impacts.
