Adjust rotations or increase fallowing to conserve water.– Grow drought‐resistant crops (e.g., sesame, sorghum).
Drip systems … Sesame Revenue per acre = Sesame Revenue + Saving from irrigation cost per acre ($187)
Trade‐Off: Lower revenue but significant water conservation
Net Farm Income Simulation
KFMA data, 2025
Preliminary Results
Preliminary simulation results indicate that sesame production has the potential to produce a net income at least as high as the average net farm income in Western Kansas over the past two decades.
Sesame has proven success in Texas and Oklahoma, with some initiatives beginning to unfold in Kansas.
Success due to its 16‐18 inches water requirement and its deep‐root and lower use levels of fertilizers and pesticides.More importantly, a short‐season crop.
Implications
Sesame offers a realistic profitability path for dryland producers facing reduced irrigation
capacity. In a region where water scarcity is now a permanent constraint, profitability must
come from crops that thrive with less water, fewer inputs, and modest infrastructure.
