Listen Later

Lia Nogueira, Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, joins this episode to discuss a rent paper about a study, "Economics of Deficit Irrigation Utilizing Soil Moisture Probes in the Western Corn Belt." This research offers a fresh perspective on how technological advancements like soil moisture probes can optimize irrigation strategies, particularly in water-scarce regions like the Western Corn Belt. We discuss the complex interplay between water usage, crop yields, and economic outcomes, unraveling how these factors are reshaping the way we think about sustainable agriculture.


The research sheds light on the challenges faced by modern producers, and explores how data-driven irrigation methods can lead to more informed, efficient, and profitable farming practices.
