Over this last month we have installed close to 20 soil moisture units, have designed counless acres with MIRI and Pipe Planner and still have more to do. It’s not work when you love what you do. Thankful for our producers in the NEA. #NRCS#CCD#stillonthejob
New Furrow Irrigation calculator at https://t.co/vlZBzxd3VO, to measure efficiency. Enter well output and acres in a set and then compare to actual pumping time to see how much water your applying per acre.
Last week we assisted with the install of 5 weather stations in McDougal, AR. We will also be installing soil moisture sensors in the coming months to schedule irrigation’s. We are excited to see what this year holds for us. #CSP#NRCS#IWM#aquarius
In light of recent events and the need of limited contact with others, now maybe the time to look into getting access to Conservation Client Gateway to sign up for NRCS Programs and manage contracts. https://t.co/z4XRFsHlhc
We spent the morning putting together #soilsensors that will be put on row rice, corn and soybeans. #crop19 is going to provide us a lot information and we look forward to sharing that with other producers across the area. Thank you for allowing us to be part of this season #CCD
We are anxious to get these in the ground for #crop19. These soil sensors will provide producers information they can apply when scheduling irrigation’s through the crop year. Knowing what’s in the ground is a huge part or irrigating efficiently and saving money. #conservation
Ag Twitter- Anyone have one of these styrofoam frogs from Froghorn fungicide sitting around? I know a 2 year old girl who really wants her frog to have a head again.
Arkansas Natural Resources Commision has been hard at work looking at Agriculture’s ground water use in the Cache watershed. Found how about the financial assistance available to help area farmers conserve irrigation water.
August 9 is the West Clay County Extension Field Day. Presentation on Corn, Soybean, and Rice Variety Trials. Updates from #UAEX Specialist, #NRCS Staff and @ClayCountyCD Staff. @uaexclaycorning @dmbaldwin2009
When you have a circuit underground watering system tied into multiple wells you never know the exact amount of water you will have. This is a great way to keep from blowing pipe. The upside down tee will work wonders on the fields that consistantly blow pipe.
@hatcher222@TheMikeHamilton I agree it is frustrating sometimes. I have learned a few tricks that may help you. Next time you have problems, give me a call and I’ll get you fixed up!
Uniformity is a big part of irrigation management. Set up Pipe Planner on a new farm in Clay County with point rows and the producer was amazed at how evenly it watered. No wasted water in the roads/ditches keeps everyone happy.
