Efficient Crop Water Use in Kansas
The Great Plains is an important center of agricultural production for both the United States and worldwide grain export. However, it is also a region that has numerous challenges to the sustainability of agricultural
production, including soil losses from erosion, low precipitation in the west, intense thunderstorms, and declining aquifer levels that threaten availability of water for irrigation.
Water is the resource that most limits maximum crop yield potential. Through increased efforts on not only conserving but also improving soil and water resources, the region’s production potential can be sustained
or even increased for future generations of agricultural producers.
Kansas is at the geographic center of the United States and a crossroads in terms of climate. A water gradient, wet to dry, exists across the state from east to west, and an increasing temperature gradient occurs from north to south.
