Irrigation land leveling is the reshaping of irrigated land to improve irrigation efficiency by ensuring irrigation water is evenly applied across the landscape. This video explores how Steve and Linda White implement this conservation practice on their farm in Gardnerville, Nevada.
Major benefits of this practice include:
• Improves irrigation efficiency
• Reduces water use
• Improves crop establishment
• Reduces irrigation duration
• Evens water coverage
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
