On today's episode of United We Ag, I sit down with Daryl Andersen, the Water Resource Manager for the Lower Platte North Natural Resources District in Eastern Nebraska. Daryl and his team work with growers to manage water level and quality throughout their district. With irrigation being such a crucial activity through this area, the Lower Platte North NRD hosts ongoing trainings and certifications around the proper way to manage water usage, fertility, as well as erosion and alternative farming practices.
Listen to Daryl explain the role of the NRD as it works with both farmers and the local communities to conduct intuitive research and education around how we can be more efficient with our water supply.
