Extension Education <br /> <br />The ES ,is using general appropriation funds to conduct demons tration, <br />information, and education programs. Extension specialists conduct water <br />management workshops and other educational programs for farmers, technicians, <br />county agents, and personnel of agricultural service and supply firms. <br />Extension specialists also work with farmers in fine tuning irrigation <br />practices to improve the irrigation efficiency and economy of operations. The <br />ES, through the State Cooperative Extension Service (CES) in Utah and <br />Colorado, has continued to provide this extension education support. <br /> <br />".,:.-, <br /> <br />In the Grand Valley, the ES worked with the BR and the Colorado CES to develop <br />a special extension education effort to assist both the BR canal and lateral <br />lining activities and the USDA onfarm program. Through Memoranda of <br />Understanding and working cooperative agreements, the Colorado CES has, <br />provided a full time extension specialist to assist in the Grand Valley <br />project area. Major activities include working with landowners and irrigators <br />to more formally organize working groups on the many irrigation distribution <br />laterals. The extension specialist will also be assisting with USDA <br />information and educational follow-up activities aimed at improving onfarm <br />irrigation water management. Funds to support this education effort are being <br />provided by the BR to Colorado CES through a reimbursable agreement with ES. <br />Funding will continue through FY-83 for this extension education support at <br />which time USDA and the Colorado CES will be expected to fund the position. <br /> <br />17 <br />
