Barsotti and Davids have been working with. So far, I've seen results from one center pivot system that was pretty good and could be made better with a few adjustments. I'm waiting on some other results from other fields. Bev Bridgewater, manager of the West Extension Irrigation District in Irrigon, said she is hearing a lot of positive feedback from farmers. When they realized it was a tool they could use on their farms, they became very receptive.
People typically take water and apply it.
Now, they're actually taking measurements to see if the water is distributed right. That's something farmers should know in this day and age, because water is so valuable. We're real excited about the program. Barsotti and Davids are one of three teams in the program. The other two teams are working in California, and this is the first time the program has traveled to Oregon.
