AIM For Water Conservation

The aim is clear: Water conservation. That's what the AIM (Advanced Irrigation Management) project is all about, and it is bringing very high-tech, but now cost-effective and user-friendly products to the fields and farm offices to cotton, peanut and corn producers in southwest Georgia.
David Reckford, director of the Flint River Basin Partnership, a conservation partnership between USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), The Nature Conservancy and the Flint River Soil and Water Conservation District, says the primary objective of the AIM program is to help farmers conserve water through innovative irrigation water management practices.
Some of those innovations supported by the program include irrigation retrofits, variable rate irrigation (VRI), remote soil moisture monitoring and conservation tillage.
