Central Minnesota irrigators, this one’s built for you. The Minnesota Irrigator Program (MIP) returns Nov. 18–19, 2025 in Becker, MN, with a hands-on, research-based workshop focused on making every inch of water—and every dollar—work harder on your farm.
What you’ll get out of it
Over two focused days with University of Minnesota Extension specialists and industry partners, you’ll:
- Dial in scheduling to optimize water use and protect yields.
- Read your soils to better predict irrigation demand under changing conditions.
- Tap into fresh research on irrigation and agronomy you can apply the next day.
- Run the numbers on practice changes and equipment to maximize ROI.
Why it matters in Central Minnesota
From sandy soils to tight planting windows, our region asks a lot from pivots. MIP blends local data, practical field demos, and economics so you leave with a confident plan for 2026—grounded in what works here.
