This year’s Field Day is jointly sponsored by Nebraska Extension and the Nebraska Water Balance Alliance (NEWBA) and the Ogallala Aquifer Project. Water is one of Nebraska's most valuable natural resources. This Field Day offers a unique opportunity for anyone interested in water to learn and see irrigation practices and cropping systems on a farm scale that maintain or increase crop production while conserving water. Participants will be able to interact with Nebraska Extension specialists and educators, and industry leaders on water issues that may affect their operations. Approximately 35 commercial venders will be on hand to provide live demonstrations of how their products can help farmers manage their fields. UNL-TAPS updates, field tours and a TAPS Calcutta will also be included. Site research tours in the afternoon will let you see management strategies and equipment up close with experts on hand to answer your specific questions.
