Michigan State researchers analyzed 176 farms in 46 counties and found irrigation profitable on high value crops like strawberries raspberries potatoes sweet corn tomatoes but not on lower value crops such as pasture. Profitability rises on lighter soils and scales with acres irrigated, while overcosts rise per acre at smaller acreages. Some gains were limited by inadequate fertilizer balancing with extra water.
