<br />site #12 - 51.'0 acre established alfalfa field. Water <br />is delivered by a concrete lined ditch and siphon tubes. <br />This field was not monitored in 1991 due to equipment not <br />arriving in time but is slated to be monitored in 1992. <br /> <br />4. The sites with improvements installed will be <br />easier to monitor. The main improvement is the installation <br />of a side-roll sprinkler system that can be monitored with <br />the use of an inline flowmeter with a recording gauge. <br /> <br />site #20 - 28.0 acre established mixed alfalfa-grass <br />field. Water is delivered by an underground pipeline to a <br />sideroll sprinkler system. The farmer is using 24 hour sets <br />and an unique system of irrigating. He irrigates one set <br />then moves two sets and irrigates again. He is a prime <br />candidate for IWM. <br />site #21 - 48.7 acre established alfalfa field. Water <br />is delivered by an underground pipeline to a sideroll <br />sprinkler system. The farmer is using 24 hour sets on a <br />system that was designed for 12 hour sets. The first <br />irrigation was missed due to timing problems. This farmer <br />is another candidate for IWM. <br /> <br />5. An Agreement Sheet was developed, for the <br />Monitoring sites, describing the responsibilities of the <br />Landowner and the Soil Conservation Service. <br /> <br />6. Three sites (Sites #10, #11, and #12) will be used <br />to measure baseline data until such time as improvements are <br />installed. The other two sites (Sites #20 and #21) will be <br />used to measure data with improvements already installed. <br />This data will be used to help the IWM Specialist to the <br />help the farmer with IWM. All sites will correlate findings <br />with the FURROW & CORRUGATION IRRIGATION PROGRAM and the <br />Salinity Planning Worksheet. <br /> <br />7. Data will be collected electronically in so far as <br />possible and processed by the computer and the M&E computer <br />programs. <br /> <br />8. A full-time technician has been assigned to the M&E <br />Team to assist with monitoring, site preparation, data <br />collection, computer entry, and biological monitoring. <br /> <br />~.c"i.3 <br />r,L ~.., <br />\~ .... <br />
