The impact of irrigated agriculture on regional economies is a subject of continuing interest and debate. A cross sectional analysis of 1978-1980 U. S. census data for 104 counties in the northern High Plains is formulated. A recursive system of equations is estimated and used to derive multipliers of irrigated acreage on employment. Effects of irrigation on local employment are statistically very significant but not substantively large in the context of a developed economy.
