A Nebraska Extension article advises irrigators to schedule water using soil sensors and to cut evapotranspiration losses during dry periods. It cites USDA census data showing only 23 percent of Nebraska irrigators use soil sensing for scheduling.
The advice concerns water-use efficiency on farms and does not signal a change in crop supply or prices. It is background for managing drought risk.
