Abstract: Crop production can be an integral part of land treatment. Net treatment costs are simulated for systems growing corn, alfalfa, and reed canary grass. Growing reed canary grass minimizes net treatment costs, due to its longer irrigation season. If an 85 percent cap !ta I subsidy is provided, growing corn grain .minimizes local costs.
