TAWC announces 2008 field dayTexas Texas Alliance for Water Conservation announces their 2008 field day to be held at the Floyd County Unity Center in Muncy, Texas on July 31 to highlight current and future project activities and what they have learned from past production practices and research efforts. TAWC is a unique partnership of Floyd and Hale county producers, data collection technologies, and collaborating partners that include industries, universities and government agencies. The project uses on-farm demonstrations of cropping and livestock systems to compare the production practices, technologies and systems that can maintain individual farm profitability while improving water use efficiency with a goal of extending the life of the Ogallala Aquifer while maintaining the viability of local farms and communities. While the schedule is still being finalized, there will be expert speakers and field demonstrators in attendance with the latest farming technology. The mission of the TAWC is to conserve water for future generations by collaborating to identify those agricultural production practices and technologies that, when integrated across farms and landscapes, will reduce the depletion of ground water while maintaining or improving agricultural production and economic opportunities.
