Cost of Irrigation Ownership and Operating Costs through Irrigation Budgets for South Georgia

UGA Extension contacts:
Calvin Perry, Amanda Smith, Wesley Porter, Jackson Cloud, and Yangxuan Liu

These irrigation budgets, developed by University of Georgia Cooperative Extension, are estimates of the irrigation costs of a center pivot irrigation system located in southeast Georgia. Our intention is to provide flexible, user-friendly irrigation budgets with default values. That being said, the variation among different farm conditions can impact investment costs and annual costs associated with irrigation; users are suggested to modify these default values and customize their budgets according to their specific field conditions. Please consult your irrigation providers for properly designed center pivot systems that match well production to achieve your irrigation goals. This should serve as a generalized user guide for irrigation budgets and provide guidance for adjusting the default values in the budgets.
