With historically strong beef prices driving profitability for many ranchers in 2025, now may be the ideal time to reinvest in their operations by enhancing feed grain, hay, and pasture production by adding center pivot irrigation.
Strategic irrigation investments can significantly increase on-farm feed production and quality while providing an effective solution for wastewater management and distribution.
“Beef cattle returns this year have created a tremendous opportunity for ranchers to add irrigation systems that help them consistently protect and improve feed production potential for years to come,” said John Thom, vice president of T-L Irrigation. “As a result, our dealers are seeing a noticeable increase in interest from ranchers who want to know which irrigation systems best fit their operations.”
According to Thom, a center pivot offers multiple advantages for ranchers, including more dependable feed production, higher yield potential, improved forage quality, and reduced dependence on purchased feed. In addition, T-L’s hydrostatically powered center pivots can efficiently manage and apply wastewater – a valuable resource for many cattle operations.
“T-L’s hydrostatically powered center pivots, featuring continuous movement and advanced technology for control, convenience, and performance, help cattlemen protect yields, increase efficiency, and maximize return on investment,” Thom added. “Given today’s strong cattle market and favorable financial conditions, this may be the ideal time to invest in irrigation, especially considering potential end-of-year tax benefits.”
Beef producers interested in exploring irrigation solutions tailored to their operation can contact their local T-L Irrigation dealer to discuss the best system for their production goals.
