    The document contains three tables that provide information about crop yield goals, growing seasons, and irrigation water requirements. Table 1 lists moderate and high yield goals in bushels/acre or tons/acre for various field crops and vegetables as well as their typical growing seasons in days. Table 2 estimates the irrigation water needed in inches at different assurance levels for several crops. Table 3 shows the peak daily water use rates in inches for corn and soybeans at different growth stages.
