What can you as a producer do to conserve water or reduce irrigation applied or manage low capacity wells? Colorado State University has been conducting applied research and demonstration cropping and irrigation management practices to address these issues near Burlington, Colorado. A four year rotation of winter wheat, corn and soybeans was started at this site in 2006 with three irrigation management strategies to reduce irrigation needs or to stretch limited water.

The field day will be held on June 20, 2008 starting at 9:30 a.m. at the Dennis Coryell farm shop located one half mile east of county road 52 and X. Lunch will be served after the tour. A second tour after lunch will be held to look at herbicide options for corn. If you have questions, please call Joel Schneekloth at (970) 345-0508 or Alan Helm at (970) 474-3479.
