While the total production costs of wheat fed were the lowest in the agriculture of the ties and then out of the ties at a value of 8584.01. 8989.23 pounds/fed.Respectively. Thus increasing the net yield of the wheat feddan within the external links by 2356.87 pounds/fed.where the net yield of the wheat feddan within the bonds was estimated at 4840.14 pounds/feddan and outside the bonds 2483.27 pounds/feddan. Water user associations have been shown to increase total revenue.reduce costs and increase net revenue.
