Wide-Skip Furrow Irrigation on Buckshot: A Farmer-Driven Revolution
Investigators
Objectives
- Determine the yield, water, and profit impact of wide-skip furrow irrigation on soybean in buckshot
- Distribute knowledge and recommendations associated with wide-skip furrow irrigation,
- Develop one young agricultural professional through a graduate research assistantship.
Expected End Results
Alleviating waterlogging by adopting wide-skip furrow irrigation will encourage more diverse crop rotations on buckshot and thus further enhance soybean farming on buckshot. Wide-skip furrow irrigation will be a true win-win for profitability and sustainability.
