Summary and Recommendations <br /> <br />The benefits of reduced irrigation labor requirements and increased <br />yields offset the annual cost of installing an improved system. <br />These impacts were displayed in comparison budgets (included in last <br />years report) from interviews of individual producers in the project <br />area. <br /> <br />It is recommended that conservationist maintain or enhance their <br />efforts to provide solid economic data to producers for use in their <br />decision making process. <br /> <br />A larger effort needs to be made to gain solid data on "after" or <br />implemented conditions to show the long term effects of the program. <br /> <br />Considerations should be made on the benefits of further evaluations <br />on planned conditions. Four years of evaluations on planned <br />conditions provide good support to continue with project <br />implemenation. <br /> <br />23 <br />
