The webinar has taken place, but in case you missed it or would like to revisit the material, we've provided links to the the slide deck and video recording of the webinar, as well as a link to our Irrigation Library.
OVERVIEW: Water is essential for a healthy crop, but determining how much, when, and how best to use water can be confusing. Skilled irrigators know how to balance soil type, weather, crop growth, and system limitations to ensure water is applied when and where it is needed without wasting time, energy, money, or water.
Johnny's Farm Manager, Collin Thompson, leads a discussion on irrigation methods and systems, covering topics that will help farmers and gardeners evaluate the factors impacting their irrigation decisions, determine what type of irrigation equipment is best suited to their conditions, and understand the process of developing an irrigation schedule.
A Q&A session, moderated by Assistant Farm Manager Jon Ault, follows the presentation.
