The Florida project will provide irrigation water for 5,730 acres of nonirrigated land and supplemental irrigation water for 13,720 acres of presently irrigated land. The project plan proposes the construction of Lemon Dam and reservoir on the Florida River. The reservoir will so regulate the river that late-season flows will be supplemented with stored water and thereby furnish an adequate irrigation water supply in most years. The reservoir will have a capacity of 40,300 acre-feet, including 39,000 acre-feet of active capacity for irrigation and 1,300 acre-feet of inactive capacity for sediment, fish and wildlife. The economic analysis of the proposed Florida irrigation project has two primary objectives: (1) An appraisal of direct agricultural benefits from project development, and (2) an appraisal of prospective farm incomes from representative sizes and types of farms considered most likely with the proposed irrigation development. Both of these analyses contribute to a general appraisal of the prospects for a successful, stable, irrigated agricultural economy. Farm incomes were estimated for five farm types, namely: Grade A dairy, range beef, feeder steer, farm flock of sheep, and cash crop.
