Water Management

Mar 2021

Water Management

Water availability can be a limiting resource for soybean growth at critical points in the growing season. Or water can be overly abundant or poorly timed thanks to heavy rains and weather patterns. Water management accounts for both efficient use of irrigation and allowing excess water to drain while protecting water quality as it moves into the watershed. A wide variety of checkoff-funded tools, resources and research projects help soybean farmers maximize the value of the water they have access to and preserve water quality as it leaves their fields.
