Several things with consider with the irrigating season coming to an end

With the 2024 irrigation season coming to an end, it is a good idea to consider things that can be done before next year to make irrigation management more efficient. A few things to consider when turning off your pivots for the year: an end-of-the-year checklist so that the pivot equipment is stored properly and is ready for the spring, any possible modifications that could be made to your system, and possible cost-share programs that could benefit your irrigation time and efficiency. Considering these recommendations can help conserve and manage water resources. 08/29/2024 12:00 AM
