A joint project between the Flint River Soil and Water Conservation District (FRSWCD), the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and UGA will develop new tools to optimize irrigation water management for pecan production in southwest Georgia and provide outreach to pecan producers in the region, according to a story in Morning Ag Clips earlier this week. The project will help develop smartphone apps and produce workshops to help pecan growers manage their water more efficiently and reduce overuse of this important resource. With many growers struggling to recover from Hurricane Michael last year, I am sure they will welcome any help they can get to farm more effectively.
