End of irrigation season considerations

HARTINGTON — With the 2023 irrigation season coming to an end, it is a good idea to consider what can be done before next year to make irrigation management more efficient. A few things to consider when turning off your pivots for the year: an end-of-the-year checklist so that the pivot equipment is stored properly and is ready for the spring, any possible modifications that could be made to your system, and possible cost-share programs that could benefit your irrigation time and efficiency. Considering these recommendations can help conserve and manage water resources.
