Nebraska Extension will host an irrigation meeting, in collaboration with the Nebraska Master Irrigator Program, on Dec. 5 at the West Central Research, Extension and Education Center in North Platte.
The meeting will explore water conservation in irrigated cropping systems and the potential for achieving success with less than 12 inches of irrigation. Farmers and local irrigators are encouraged to attend to discuss these ideas with researchers, conservation professionals and industry representatives.
Attendees will learn more about management practices, maximizing yields, water conservation initiatives, nighttime irrigation and cover crops, and how each relates to saving water.
Participants will hear from a variety of speakers during panel discussions featuring researchers, industry professionals and others for each session.
The meeting will begin with registration at 8:30 a.m., followed by a welcome and opening remarks at 9 a.m. Lunch will be provided with registration.
