As part of the NSERC Alliance project on Sustainable Irrigation on Prince Edward Island, Masters-candidate David Morgan, is conducting a survey on The Economics of Supplemental Irrigation. All Island producers are welcome to participate. Please reach out to David directly if you have further questions.

The Research question: How do profitability, stability, crop quality, and regulations shape the economic performance of supplemental irrigation for Prince Edward Island farmers, and particularly potato producers?

This research will be used in a master’s thesis and academic publications. The analysis will generate information to help growers and other PEI farmers make informed investment decisions about expensive irrigation systems, while assisting researchers in conducting more accurate irrigation research. It will also help with policy and program analysis related to supplemental irrigation.

Your participation is entirely voluntary. You may skip any question you do not wish to answer, pause the survey at any time, or exit the survey before submitting without penalty or explanation.

Expected time to complete: 20-30 minutes
The purpose of this survey is to collect data on management practices, costs, yields, and quality parameters to evaluate the economic viability of supplemental irrigation for potato producers on Prince Edward Island. This information will be used in crop and economic modelling. 

To participate in this study, you must be over the age of 18 and work (or have worked) in PEI’s farming sector as a producer, manager, or industry partner.
