Irrigation & Water Systems

Building directly on the foundational classroom overview of Farm/Ranch Irrigation & Water Systems 101 on July 7th, this follow-up class will take that knowledge to the field. The classroom session is not required to attend this on-farm workshop.

Our host, John Powers of Hopefull Hill Ranch, has implemented a variety of irrigation systems on his property, including pasture sprinklers fed by an NID box located on a neighboring property, an agricultural well, and a drip system supplied by a solar well pump. Learn about John's journey building out the systems, pros and cons of different water sources, redundant system design, irrigation controls, and monitoring. The class will also cover tips for how to troubleshoot these systems when problems arise.
