Abstract: A methodology was developed to measure impacts of rising electricity prices on high lift irrigation development. Effects of farm size, crop prices, yields, lift heights, and distance from water source were also incorporated. Results indicate that rising electricity prices will make development infeasible in high elevation areas of southern Idaho.
