Abstract: Sensitivity analysis was used to estimate changes in revenues for a 320 acre farm utilizing wastewater irrigation. Variables evaluated were yield response, cropping pattern, prices, irrigation costs, and cost sharing agreements. Corn was the most profitable crop evaluated; soybeans least profitable. Impacts on net revenues were evaluated assuming alternative levels of cost sharing by the waste supplying municipality.
