Sloughhouse RCD Mobile Irrigation Lab Sign-up Questionnaire |
The Mobile Irrigation Lab(MIL) is a FREE resource designed to help provide technical assistance to growers with on-farm, one-on-one consultations, that focus on water efficiency, pump efficiency, and nutrient management. The goal of the MIL is to provide growers with important information that will be valuable to increase irrigation efficiency, which then helps save money with water & energy costs. Sloughhouse RCD was the recipient of a Water Efficiency and Technical Assistance grant under the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Office of Environmental Farming and Innovation. Funding is limited for the program and applications will be reviewed on a first come first service basis. There is also limited funding to provide free pump efficiency tests to about 20 growers each year who get their system evaluated.
For interested growers, please complete the MIL questionnaire below, which will ask you for information regarding farm/vineyard/orchard irrigation systems, pumps, crops, acreage, etc. All information will remain confidential.
