FARMERS FOR CLEAN WATER

Voluntary conservation practices, groundwater monitoring, state-of-the-art technology, and applied research are the focal points of Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association's efforts. We are committed to doing our part to preserve and protect our state's water resources for current and future generations... The future of our irrigated vegetable industry is ultimately dependent on our ability to balance the long term conservation of our water resources with the continuing productivity that is needed for economic survival. Increasing the efficiency of our irrigation practices and adopting conservation practices that use less water are key components to achieving this balance. Wisconsin farmers are experts on the complexities of the water cycle, groundwater recharge, and evapotranspiration (ET). That understanding is crucial to growing their crops and getting the highest yield with the least input of water and fertilizer... We're committed to protecting Wisconsin's water..
