2023 Abstract - MISSISSIPPI DELTA FIELDS BENEFIT FROM DRAIN TILE - AND JUST MIGHT BENEFIT FROM SUBSURFACE IRRIGATION: Agriculture market fluctuations across farm inputs continue to cloud what decisions can guarantee improved profitability while farmers are challenged to do more with less. Now, more than ever, drainage water management could take the guesswork out of increasing long-term ROI in the Delta: it improves crop yields, raises land value, lowers break-even price, reduces necessary water use, and decreases nitrate loss –all while serving as a conservation practice. What if it irrigates, too?
