Eloy NRCD
Conserving 298,426 acres of Arizona
The Eloy NRCD is located in an area primarily devoted to irrigated farming. Important crops are cotton, grain sorghum, and hay for dairy cattle. Surrounding rangeland is defined as desert shrub, with low livestock carrying capacity except in wet winters when cool season annuals are abundant. Wildlife values are also limited by low rainfall.
Eloy NRCD serves a large farming community. Extended drought conditions have reduced irrigation water availability, making it imperative that farmers maximize water use efficiency. The District works with producers to determine the most effective irrigation techniques and helps establish sound water management for their farms.
