. Agri-news. Agriculture. AGDEX: 753 April 28, 1975 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SPRINKLER IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT OUTLOOK "What a difference a year makes is the best way to describe the irrigation equipment outlook for 1975", says Len Ring, irrigation systems engineer with Alberta Agriculture. Almost every type of sprinkler equipment is in good supply this year with prices relatively stable compared with those of last year. Some center pivot machines, for example, are being delivered one week after they are ordered. The reasons for the improved situation are many, according to Mr. Ring. One is the decline in building and automobile construc- tion which has released a large volume of aluminum and steel that would normally be used for siding, window frames etc. Another is that many irrigation manufacturers placed orders with different suppliers when raw materials were scarce. These orders are now being filled from all sources, creating a surplus of equipment. The present state of the American economy, and the limited water supplies in some areas of that country,is still another reason. It has resulted in the demand for irrigation equipment being smaller than had been expected, with the result that more equipment is being released to the Canadian market. Mr. Ring reports that many U. S. dealers, mostly from Montana, Idaho and Colorado, are now selling their equipment in Alberta and advises farmers here to make sure they invest their money wisely.
