The weekly webinar series was developed by Steve Melvin, Extension educator in Frontier County, to help farmers feel more comfortable making scheduling decisions based on data from soil water monitoring equipment. The payoff can be big, since irrigation scheduling can conserve water, which in turn saves money.
"The idea is I will just go through and show my decision-making process based on the data and a chart system I am using, something we've developed over the past few years. The videos show how to use (the charts), but more importantly how to look at data and make soil monitoring-based irrigation decisions based on it," Melvin told Nebraska Farmer.
The first video was posted the first week of July and he'll continue to post weekly videos until irrigation season ends around early next month.
