Irrigation Water Management: There's a Plan for That

Bob Amarel, managing general partner for a prune orchard outside Yuba City, hosts NRCS engineer Ken Householder. Together they discuss how irrigation water management is essential to make an efficient and profitable agricultural operation. The orchard transitioned from flood irrigation to drip irrigation with NRCS help. Soil moisture data is discussed as an important part of the management scenario. A second video is devoted to the use of flow meters and how they can serve as a valuable feedback tool for monitoring the water being applied.
