Oklahoma Water

Resources Center

Oklahoma State University has initiated a Master Irrigator Program to provide advanced training on irrigation water management, irrigation system and equipment maintenance, energy conservation, water conservation and quality, and economics of irrigated agriculture. The program includes classroom training, peer-to-peer exchange of information between producers, field demonstrations, and services such as energy audits through mobile irrigation laboratories. 

 

The instructors include extension specialists, irrigation specialists, and economists from OSU and adjoining states, producers, crop consultants and NRCS personnel. The first program was launched in Oklahoma in January 2021. The second program will be held at Altus in Southwest Oklahoma in January-February 2022. The registration for Master Irrigator Program in Altus is now open at the Okstate Market Place.
