Cropping System Strategies to Enhance Resilience to Drought While Optimizing Farm Profits.

Crop producers in the Southeastern United States are vulnerable to season and short term droughts due to soils with low water holding soils affected by compaction. This presentation summarizes a project that demonstrated system-level water conservation technologies that enhance resilience to drought and increase farm profits. Six “Prototype Fields” were used to demonstrate and train growers to adopt innovative water conservation technologies.
