| The Rosebud-Treasure County Irrigation Tour was held Monday, September 18th. Local Conservation Districts, the Treasure County Weed District, DNRC, NRCS, RC& D, County Extension Agents, Irrigation Company Representatives and area producers all turned out for what ended up being a beautiful day. |
| Kent Kidd, Valley Irrigation representative, did a nozzle demonstration. |
| Mike Boyd and Wayne Denow at Stevenson's. |
| The next stop was to look at Icopini’s linear system. This system covers 170 acres and travels along a 1,990 foot strip. |
| Bart Icopini demonstrated the way soil moisture sensors are installed. Soil moisture sensors allow the producer to know how much moisture there is in the soil and how deep the moisture goes when irrigating. |
| Mike Carlson, RC & D, and Stew Greer and Michelle Gorder, NRCS. |
| Icopini's linear has built in track fillers. |
