Irrigation Training Series

In addition, Inge Bisconer and Tom Devol share with us a handy field slide rule tool to estimate run times based on local evapotranspiration and to estimate the cost of poor uniformity.

The 2021 irrigation season is one of the toughest ever. Supply chain difficulties, price increases, transportation, labor, Covid, drought, and an overall uneasiness with customers made this year difficult to manage.
