Tyann Phillips Attends Texas Alliance for Water Conservation Field Day

Tyann Phillips (Floyd Co.) recently participated in a field day in Muncy which focused on agricultural irrigation management and efficiency.

The event was organized by the Texas Alliance for Water Conservation (TAWC) - a project administered by Texas Tech University, and funded through a grant from the Texas Water Development Board.

TAWC is "a partnership of area producers, data collection technologies, and collaborating partners that include: industries, universities, and government agencies. The project uses on-farm demonstrations of cropping and livestock systems to compare the production practices, technologies, and systems that can maintain individual farm profitability while improving water use efficiency with a goal of extending the life of the Ogallala Aquifer while maintaining the viability of local farms and communities."

January 17, 2019, TAWC will host the 5th Annual Water College in Lubbock, where more than 200 area producers, consultants and Ag industry leaders will discuss the latest in water management technologies and practices. There will also be a trade show. Perhaps this is an opportunity to have a 4-H Water Ambassadors booth, and manned by some of you in the area? I will check into it. Here is a link to the agenda.
