** Water Irrigation Efficiency Program Celebration
------------------------------------------------------------

We are excited to celebrate the success of the Water Irrigation Efficiency Program - an initiative which has funded 62 projects and will help transition 18,513 acres from flood irrigation to a more efficient irrigation system. This effort is expected to yield water savings of 36,418 acre-feet of water annually - enough to fill Tempe Town Lake over twelve times!

Remarkably, these achievements are realized while either maintaining or boosting crop yields, despite reducing water usage.

In the spirit of this groundbreaking work, we hope you will join us for our celebration ceremony at Zinke Farms in Pinal County. This event will be a gathering of industry leaders, local farmers, state legislators, and county officials in mutual celebration of our shared victories in innovation, and conserving our most precious resource.
