      abstract = {Budgeting, linear programming and benefit-cost analysis  were used in an economic investigation of a private  irrigation project which serves 54 individually operated  farms. On each of these farms, the opportunity exists for  the integration of irrigated and dry land agriculture. The  results of this study allow some comments to be made  concerning the advantages which are claimed for this type  of integration. One of the most appealing of these claims  is that integration will encourage extensive types of  agricultural production, rather than the intensive and  often highly subsidized enterprises which have dominated  many acres where farms are wholly or largely irrigated.  This study indicates that, should farmers aim to maximize  profits, the irrigation water would be used mainly in the  production of forage for dairy cattle. Yet, the farmers  have indicated that they would prefer to operate farm  programmes which almost completely exclude dairying.},
