Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-run impacts of the developing energy situation on agricultural production. An earlier study shows that irrigated farming, more than any other part of agricultural production, is affected by changes in energy supplies and prices. Either high energy prices or an energy shortage would reduce production of irrigated crops. Reduction in irrigated crops than has a "second round" effect on land use and c r op production in other regions of the nation. If agricultural exports continue to rise, however, impacts on irrigated agriculture are not expected to be as severe as with lower exports.
