Industry Landscape
The agricultural water management industry is experiencing steady growth driven by increasing demand for food, climate change impacts, and a focus on sustainable practices. Innovations in smart irrigation, water-efficient technologies, and digital solutions are key trends. Regulatory pressures for water quality and conservation also shape the market, leading to greater adoption of advanced water control systems by farmers and conservationists.
Total Assets Under Management (AUM)
Irrigated Cropland Area in United States
~Approximately 58 million acres (Source: USDA ERS, 2017 data, latest comprehensive available)
(Not directly applicable as this metric is a total area, not an annual growth. However, the adoption of efficient irrigation technologies is growing. CAGR)
Growth in irrigated cropland area in the US has been relatively stable in recent years, influenced by:
- Regional shifts in crop production.
- Adoption of water-saving technologies.
- Water availability and policy changes.

Pace of Market Growth
Emerging Technologies
Smart Irrigation Systems with AI
Integration of artificial intelligence with sensor-based irrigation to optimize water delivery based on real-time soil moisture, weather forecasts, and crop needs, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.
Remote Sensing & Satellite Imagery
Utilizing drone and satellite data for high-resolution mapping and monitoring of agricultural fields and water bodies, enabling precise water management decisions and identifying areas of concern.
Advanced Water Quality Monitoring
Deployment of real-time, networked sensors to continuously monitor water parameters (e.g., pH, nutrient levels, turbidity) in fields and impoundments, supporting adaptive management for improved environmental outcomes.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
USDA Conservation Programs (e.g., EQIP, CSP)
The USDA's Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) (ongoing, updated annually) provide financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers to address natural resource concerns, including water management, soil health, and wildlife habitat.
These programs directly benefit CoHelms AgServices by providing financial incentives ('cost share approved') for their customers to adopt their water control products, driving demand and market penetration.
Clean Water Act Amendments (various, latest significant updates around 2020-2023 for WOTUS)
The Clean Water Act (CWA) aims to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters. Recent updates, particularly concerning the 'Waters of the United States' (WOTUS) rule, clarify federal jurisdiction over certain water bodies, impacting agricultural drainage and discharge practices.
Increased regulatory scrutiny on water quality and discharge from agricultural operations may create a greater need for effective water control and management solutions, potentially increasing demand for CoHelms AgServices' products that prevent erosion and improve water quality.
State-level Water Conservation Plans (e.g., Arkansas Water Plan)
Many states, including Arkansas (where CoHelms AgServices is based), have comprehensive water plans (e.g., Arkansas Water Plan, last major update 2014, ongoing implementation) that outline strategies for sustainable water use, addressing concerns like groundwater depletion and surface water quality, often encouraging efficient irrigation practices.
State-level initiatives promoting water conservation and efficient agricultural water use will likely increase the adoption of advanced water control structures, directly benefiting CoHelms AgServices as their products facilitate precise water management.
