2008 Water Conservation Sign-Up Announced

Georgia’s Congressional Delegation has announced that $2.58 million has been made available to help South Georgia farmers conserve agricultural water supplies used for irrigation.  The Congressional funding, made possible by the 2008 agricultural appropriations bill, will enable farmers to build irrigation water reservoirs or make necessary improvements to existing reservoirs and provide technical assistance to the landowners.  The funding also provides for improving the application efficiency of irrigation systems in the region. Applications for the program will be accepted between May 1 and May 30 of this year.
