High commodity prices and a couple of dry spell have left many producers considering expanding irrigation.
This is usually the time of year when irrigation equipment is at its lowest price but this year industrial shortages of steel and plastics have left that equipment in short supply. You need to plan ahead right now as many well drillers are booking into next year for installations. Michigan’s large volume water use registration process and site-specific review system have the potential to slow down many projects.
Several irrigation suppliers say regional equipment prices have increased significantly in the past two years. Good advice is to start early and have a detailed plan.
