Practice Design (Tools)

This workshop is specifically for technical staff and planners from SWCDs and NRCS who are looking for advanced training on irrigation practices. The two day workshop, which is be a mix of classroom and in field demonstrations on irrigation practices, has attendees work hands on to develop a plan for Irrigation Water Management (CPS 449). A goal of the workshop is that attendees will increase their readiness to pursue Job Approval Authority (JAA) for irrigation practices.

Participants will learn how to design livestock pipeline and watering systems using the Minnesota NRCS spreadsheet design tool. We'll discuss how to gather the information needed to use the design tool as well as run through examples.

This is a collection of webinar replays from the Basic Cover Crop training held March 30 and April 2, 2026.
