Irrigation Workshop

Author: Chad Lee

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Grain Crops

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Farmers are adding irrigation systems for corn production. Several colleagues and I have been conducting some initial research on irrigation but thought our information was too thin. However, our irrigation workshop was attended by farmers with as many as 20 or more years of experience and some as little as 5 years of experience. They all said they learned more about irrigation at the workshop and encouraged us to continue working on irrigation.
