York Co, ☆ - AERATION FANS AND DUCTS Energy savings with irrigation NEWARK, Del. - With the rapidly rising cost of fuel, farmers who irrigate are interested in cutting water usage and fine tuning their systems and equipment to save energy. The answer may be in reduction, says University of Delaware extension energy program coordinator Ron Jester. How can you reduce water application per acre and still come up with top yields? It’s possible— Up to sl,ooo off on tMs Ford tractor?

TRACTOR CO. Buffalo Springs, PA PH. 717-949-6501 Rt 419, 1 Mile West of Schaefferstown especially if you’ve been using too much water. Up to now, says Jester, farmers have been using two mam methods for deciding when and how much to irrigate. One consists of eyeballing your crop and land, and using past ex perience to determine whether moisture is needed. The second method con sists of taking a spade, digging up a sample of soil, and squeezing it to figure out how much water is in it. A more objective proach consists of usSs urometers. The Delaware Extension Service will be using these measuring devices this summer m an attempt to increase irrigation efficiency. Keep in mind that water saved in irrigation is roughly proportional to energy saved. So any measure that conserves water will nor mally conserve energy, too
