value of water for spuds

[Clear as Mud]

Been approached by local spud grower who wants to irrigate his 40 acre crop from our reservoir.
Would any one know what it would be worth ?

£100/ac would be cheap if his crop was struggling, or needed for scab control.

Just for water on it’s own the going rate is £25/acre/inch and then they pay the annual irrigation license cost on top of that.

Round our way it’s about £25-30/ acre inch pumped to the hydrant, and about £45/ acre inch if you do the application with your equipment as well.

I charge £40 per acre inch for crops on my own land... assuming my equipment, labour, water.
Charge that plus at least £100 per acre for someone else's.
Probably too cheap at that given value added
