The McMullin Area Groundwater Sustainability Agency (MAGSA) and Fresno State University’s Center for Irrigation Technology (CIT) have created the Grower Irrigation Academy to help those farming in MAGSA boost their crop yield and improve profitability through more efficient irrigation strategies.
About the Grower Irrigation Academy: The Grower Irrigation Academy is an educational program designed to help MAGSA growers increase their irrigation system efficiency and nutrition management practices. Through this program, growers will learn from irrigation experts and receive training through workshops, webinars, videos, field days, and interactive tools like spreadsheets and maps.
The Grower Irrigation Academy is funded through a $499,609 grant from the California Department of Food and Agriculture Water Efficiency Technical Assistance (WETA) program. The Center for Irrigation Technology (CIT) at California State University, Fresno, is the lead applicant, and the McMullin Area Groundwater Sustainability Agency (MAGSA) is the partner applicant for the WETA grant funding the Grower Irrigation Academy.
