Summary
| Description |
Rows of processing tomato plants thrive with debris free water that has passed through this sand media filtration tank system (with low emission diesel generator) and along underground drip irrigation tubes 10 inches below the surface emitting ground water to the plants, thanks to specifications that U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) District Conservationist Phil Hogan provided to Joe Muller and Sons, in Woodland, CA on Wednesday, Apr. 15, 2015. The system can draw water from surface or ground water sources. Because of the drought most, if not all of the water for this crop comes ground water, pumped up from a well. Phil Hogan helped this producer with the USDA NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) cost-share grant application that Mr. Muller says was "an easy process." The farm qualified for the cost share grant for the emitter tape (tubing), distribution piping, filter system, pumps and controls. California is currently undergoing a prolonged drought. This farm produces a 30-50% greater yield, due to precise watering along these ¾ mile rows of tomatoes. The buried plastic tubing with built in water emitters are 10” below the ground and are positioned using GPS. His orchards use micro sprinklers, a different type of micro irrigation.
