The analysis considered two alternative enterprises: rotation corn soybeans with and without controlled drainage activities. The baseline solution assumed that controlled drainage has 10% higher average yields than free flowing drainage, one drainage control structure is needed each 20 acres, and all drainage management work was done on good field days. The results suggest that the baseline optimal solution was rotation corn-soybeans with controlled drainage where 1,500 acres were cultivated with corn... |
