I don't have a clue -- except that fuel prices are skyhigh. I live over an aquifer that is in about 6 states. Water level is declining -- the deeper you pump from the more it costs. Most wells are powered by natural gas, the price of which has probably tripled in the last 5 years. That, combined with wells of limited capacity, is forcing many farmers to either quit or cut back irrigation -- but they are not likely to do that in the middle of a crop. Sounds like your tenant has financial problems, and simply cannot take care of the crop. Rather than trying to spread out his expense and run all pivots, he may have decided to do a good job on part of the land, and let yours go south -- Mad or not you definitely need to talk to him, and get another tenant. Nothing wrong with CRP either. Yes, it is possible to have crop insurance, declare a failure due to drought, and collect insurance. But to do it intentionally, particularly on irrigated ground, is fraud.
