In this joint Climate Learning Network/ANREP Climate Science Initiative webinar, a trio of professors working on serious challenges related to water in the Ogallala aquifer region, Drs. Aguilar, Rudnick and West, will discuss their experiences running popular outreach programs targeted at agricultural producers.
Producers in the Ogallala aquifer region are simultaneously facing serious challenges related to water and an explosion of new information available on efficient irrigation and crop management. In Kansas, Nebraska and Texas, popular outreach programs are helping producers make sense of it all, offering engaging opportunities that show producers new tools and techniques in action. These programs differ in their approach but share some common strengths such as producers sharing their experiences with their peers, research validation of management tools, and input from commercial and non-profit technology experts. Drs. Aguilar, Rudnick and West will share details and insights learned from their involvement in Kansas’s Water Technology Farms, Nebraska’s Testing Ag Performance Solutions Program, and the Texas Alliance for Water Conservation demonstration project.
