Irrigation farming praised for high yields in Wichita Falls
A letter from Wichita Falls Texas argues that irrigation yields exceptional crops. It notes soy cotton about a bale per acre, 50 to 60 bushels of corn, 30 to 40 bushels of wheat, and 75 to 100 bushels of oats per acre with proper water use. It compares regional land values to Colorado and cites local farmers Stirman Thompson Knight Abel as examples.
