The estimated crop water use for Nebraska Panhandle and Northwest Colorado crops for the previous week is shown in the tables below. This is the last estimated crop water use for the Nebraska Panhandle and northeastern Colorado crops for the 2025 growing season. Gary Stone, Nebraska Extension educator, and Dr. Xin Qiao, Extension Irrigation and Water Management Specialist, both based at the UNL Panhandle Research and Extension Center in Scottsbluff, welcome your comments and feedback using these numbers to assist you with your irrigation water applications. Also, let us know if you took advantage of the ACREE app for your irrigation management decisions, PHREC AgLab. Send comments or suggestions to gstone2@unl.edu or xin.qiao@unl.edu.
Thank you to the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission and the Colorado Dry Bean Committee for their support in making this information available to you during the current growing season.
Crop water use will vary across the noted areas due to variations in ET, crop growth stage, temperature, soil type, wind, and precipitation events. Crop water use will assist growers with irrigation scheduling and efficient water application and use.
