Gov. Little recommends proactive solutions to the Idaho Water Resource Board to give Swan Falls trust water users a reprieve for the 2026 irrigation season.

Your irrigation water plays a bigger role in your operation than you might think.   In this episode, Cory Broad joins Dr. Karl Wyant to explore why irrigation water should be treated as an agronomic input. They discuss how water quality can affect the performance of your irrigation system, why that matters for irrigation efficiency and fertigation and what a water sample can reveal about your operation.   Plus, learn why routine water sampling matters, what distribution uniformity means, how common issues can affect irrigation performance and why proper flushing is an important part of maintaining an efficient irrigation system.   Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?

It's easy to focus on technology. Smart controllers. Sensors. Weather data. Flow meters. Soil moisture. Automation. All of that matters. But in this episode of The Sprinkler Nerd Show, Andy Humphrey and Dustin Nihsen bring the conversation back to the person behind the system. Because even the best irrigation technology in the world is only as good as the operator. Dustin Nihsen, owner of Sprinkler and Irrigation Services in Gretna, Nebraska, has spent more than 30 years in the irrigation industry. He started in the dirt, digging holes and learning the trade the hard way. Since then, he has designed thousands of sprinkler systems, earned multiple Irrigation Association certifications, helped lead one of the Midwest's largest sprinkler companies, and built a business focused on raising the standard of the profession. This conversation is about what it really means to put professionalism back into the irrigation profession. Dustin shares how irrigation contractors can stop competing as "just another sprinkler company" and start becoming the Purple Cow: the company that stands out, communicates better, trains harder, inspects deeper, and delivers a higher-value experience. He explains why professionalism shows up in the small details: how the truck is parked, what the technician wears, how the customer is greeted, how systems are tested, and how confidently a company communicates its value. Andy and Dustin also talk about smart irrigation from a field-level perspective. Sometimes the smartest thing a contractor can do is not install a new device. Sometimes it is reducing runtimes, fixing broken nozzles, understanding precipitation rates, checking pressure, using cycle-and-soak, and training technicians to ask better questions. The episode lands on a powerful challenge for every contractor, owner, technician, and irrigation professional: If you manage 100 clients with 10 zones each, that is 1,000 zones of irrigation under management. Reducing each zone by just one minute could potentially save over 1 million gallons of water per year. That is the power of a smart operator. And Dustin's advice says it all: "In order to make our industry more professional, it has to start with you." This episode is a reminder that Smart Irrigation Month is not only about smarter products. It is about smarter people, smarter standards, smarter service, and smarter leadership.

In this episode of The Sprinkler Nerd Show, Andy talks with Scott Bowen, Commercial Irrigation Manager for Conserva Irrigation, about what happens when irrigation becomes more than service calls and sprinkler repair. Scott shares his 30-year journey through golf irrigation, sports turf, distribution, manufacturing, consulting, design, and commercial water management — and explains how that background shapes the way he sees irrigation today. The conversation explores Conserva's move into commercial irrigation, water management, training, site assessments, flow sensing, smart controllers, high-efficiency components, and the growing need for irrigation professionals to think beyond repairs and toward long-term system performance. Andy and Scott also dig into the future of the irrigation technician, the difference between fixing sprinklers and managing water, why soil health matters, how commercial clients think about water use, and why training, certifications, and networking are essential for contractors who want to become more professional and more valuable. This episode is a great reminder that the future of irrigation is not just about putting water on the ground. It is about understanding the system, the soil, the technology, the client, and the bigger responsibility of managing water well.

Why did the civilisation that invented writing, cities, and law destroy the very soil that made it possible — and why are sixty to seventy percent of those same fields still poisoned by salt today? How did two scholars at the University of Chicago, reading cuneiform grain records from 2400 BC, discover that the fall of Sumer was not caused by war or plague but by a slow, invisible chemical process that no amount of ingenuity could stop? And what does it mean that the Sumerians could see it happening, recorded it meticulously on clay tablets, and kept irrigating anyway?John tells the story of Iraq and the land between the rivers — the white crust on the fields of Uruk, the dying date palms of Basra, and the most quietly devastating title in the history of academic writing...----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review-----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: historyoffreshproduce@gmail.com

Jin asked hesitantly.Ko: 혜진은 조용히 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Hyejin quietly nodded.Ko: "말해 보게나, 진." 그녀는 부드러운 미소를 지었다.En: "Go ahead, Jin," she said with a gentle smile.Ko: 진은 자신의 아이디어를 공유하였다.En: Jin shared his ideas.Ko: 그는 물길의 각도를 약간 조정하면 더 많은 물을 흐르게 할 수 있다고 설명했다.En: He explained that by slightly adjusting the angles of the waterways, more water could flow through.Ko: 혜진은 잠시 생각에 잠겼다.En: Hyejin pondered for a moment.Ko: "현명한 아이디어야, 진. 함께 미수에게 설명해 보자."En: "It's a wise idea, Jin. Let's explain it to Misoo together."Ko: 진은 긴장했지만 용기를 내어 혜진과 함께 미수를 만났다.En: Jin was nervous but mustered the courage to meet Misoo with Hyejin.Ko: 미수는 위엄 있게 서서 그들을 바라보았다.En: Misoo stood with dignity, looking at them.Ko: "뭐가 그렇게 중요한가?"En: "What is so important?"Ko: 혜진은 말을 시작했다.En: Hyejin began to speak.Ko: "진이 새로운 방법을 제안하고 싶다오.En: "Jin wants to propose a new method.Ko: 곧 물이 넘칠 가능성이 있는데, 그의 아이디어는 귀 기울여 볼 만한 가치가 있다네."En: There is a possibility of flooding soon, and his idea is worth listening to."Ko: 진은 심장이 두근거렸지만, 차분히 자신의 계획을 설명했다.En: Jin's heart was pounding, but he calmly explained his plan.Ko: 미수는 처음에는 회의적이었다.En: Misoo was skeptical at first.Ko: "변화는 리스크가 있어."En: "Change involves risk."Ko: 그러나 혜진이 그의 의견을 지지하자 미수는 잠잠해졌다.En: However, once Hyejin supported his opinion, Misoo settled down.Ko: "좋다, 시도해 보자.En: "Very well, let's give it a try.Ko: 어차피 물이 점점 위험 수위로 올라가고 있지 않은가."En: After all, the water is slowly rising to dangerous levels."Ko: 다음 날부터 진과 다른 일꾼들은 새로운 방법을 시험하기 시작했다.En: From the next day, Jin and other workers began testing the new method.Ko: 그 결과는 놀라웠다.En: The results were astounding.Ko: 물은 효율적으로 흐르고, 홍수의 위험은 줄어들었다.En: The water flowed efficiently, and the risk of flooding decreased.Ko: 진은 마음 깊이 감사함을 느꼈다.En: Jin felt a deep sense of gratitude.Ko: 그의 목소리가 가치를 지니고 있었다.En: His voice held value.Ko: 마을 사람들이 그에게 존경을 보냈다.En: The village people showed him respect.Ko: 진은 변화를 가져올 수 있다는 자신감을 얻게 되었다.En: Jin gained confidence that he could bring about change.Ko: 진과 마을 사람들은 그날 저녁 티그리스 강가에 모여 새로운 시작을 축하했다.En: Jin and the villagers gathered by the Tigris River that evening to celebrate a new beginning.Ko: 진은 물길을 바라보며 새로워진 자신을 느꼈다.En: Jin looked at the waterways and felt renewed.Ko: 그의 곁에는 혜진이 미소 지으며 서 있었다.En: Beside him stood Hyejin, smiling.Ko: 그의 아이디어는 단지 물길을 변화시킨 것이 아니라, 그의 삶을 바꾸었다.En: His idea had not only changed the waterways but transformed his life.

Rotary or reciprocating files — which should you actually be using? Is one safer than the other? Does reciprocation really reduce file separation? Are you choosing your system because it suits the canal anatomy, or because it is simply the one you were taught? Endodontic file systems can feel like a maze of brands, tapers, alloys, motions and marketing claims. But beneath all that noise, the real question is much more practical: what is your file doing inside the canal, and what compromise are you accepting? In this episode, Dr Samuel Johnson returns to unpack the Endo Showdown: rotary versus reciprocating files. We cover file motion, glide paths, shaping philosophy, NiTi metallurgy, cyclic fatigue, torsional fatigue, and why no system is perfect. https://youtu.be/HfWDBbNgjsA Watch PDP270 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl A palliative root canal can be useful for an unrestorable tooth if disinfecting the canal allows infection to heal and natural bone to recover before extraction and future implant planning. ⚠️ Do not dismiss root canal treatment purely because the tooth is not a long-term functional restoration. ✅ Where appropriate, consider whether endodontic disinfection could improve the future implant site by allowing natural bone healing. Key Takeaways The purpose of shaping is not simply to scrape canal walls; it is to create space for irrigant flow. Irrigation is the most important part of root canal disinfection. Rotary files move in a continuous 360-degree rotation. Reciprocating files cut in one direction and reverse before excessive stress builds up. Modern reciprocation is designed to cut, release and gradually progress apically. File choice is not just about motion; metallurgy, taper, design and operator experience all matter. NiTi hand files with strong shape memory may be problematic in curved canals because they want to straighten. Martensitic heat-treated files are more flexible and can better follow canal curvature. Unwinding flutes are a warning sign that a file may be close to separation. Inspect files regularly during treatment, especially in curved, calcified or difficult canals. A glide path is essential before introducing larger rotary or reciprocating files. Without a glide path, a shaping file may create its own path, risking ledging, transportation or perforation. “Grabby” files pull themselves into the canal; this can be useful in experienced hands but risky if forced. Reciprocating systems can feel simpler and safer, but they are not foolproof. Cyclic fatigue happens when a file repeatedly bends around a curve until microcracks form. Torsional fatigue happens when part of the file binds while the motor continues to turn. Highlights of the episode: 00:00 Teaser 00:47 Introduction 02:13 Protrusive Dental Pearl: Palliative Root Canal Treatment 05:30 Main Question: Rotary vs Reciprocating Files 06:31 Hybrid File Motions 08:19 File Choice Is More Than Motion 10:26 Purpose of Shaping in Endodontics 11:10 Chemo-Mechanical Preparation 11:34 Rotary Motion in Root Canal Treatment 11:45 Origins of Reciprocation 12:21 Balanced Force Technique 18:00 NiTi K-Files vs Stainless Steel K-Files 22:37 Practical Advice: Inspect the File 23:40 Rotary Can Also Be a One File System 24:24 Reciprocation and Sense of Safety 24:47 “Grabby” Files 24:53 Midroll 33:54 Choosing Between Rotary and Reciprocating 35:20 Cyclic Fatigue 37:41 Endo Radar Pro Ads 40:20 Torque and RPM in Endodontics 41:41 Why Reciprocation Advances 42:56 Debris Extrusion in RCT 43:34 Benefits of Rotary Systems 44:13 Tactile Feedback in Root Canal Treatment 45:21 Outro Want more?

If you aren't a fly fishing sicko, you might not be familiar with the Henry's Fork in eastern Idaho. This place is a trout's dream, with an incredible amount of insect and aquatic life that gets these fish to grow big, and get very, very picky. The Henry's Fork sits in some of the most productive irrigated agricultural land in the American West (Idaho potatoes are famous for a reason!) And there is certainly tension between these two main economic drivers of the American West: recreation and agriculture. That's where the Henry's Fork Foundation comes into play. In today's episode, we talked with three HFF science team members about how science, landowners, and conservation can work together. Thanks to Rob Van Kirk, HFF's science and technology program director, Jack McLaren, aquatic ecology program manager, and Christina Morrissett, climate adaptation program manager, for joining us!

On this episode of the Crop Doctors' Podcast, Drew Gholson discusses how Mississippi corn growers can make informed irrigation decisions to protect yield potential during critical growth stages. Drew explains how moisture sensors help monitor available soil water, why understanding moisture depth throughout the soil profile matters, and how rooting depth influences irrigation timing. He also breaks down the importance of proper irrigation scheduling, avoiding early-season overwatering, and maintaining adequate moisture during peak water demand to maximize corn productivity and irrigation efficiency across Mississippi fields. https://extension.msstate.edu/shows/mississippi-crop-situation

Habitat Podcast #386 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Al Tomechko of Vitalize Seed Co! We discuss: Protecting young trees properly is just as important as planting them. Native grasses and diverse cover improve bedding and soil health. Splitting fertilizer applications improves nutrient efficiency. Weed matting can drastically reduce maintenance around trees. Diverse habitat creates more resilient deer properties. Soil biology drives long-term property improvement. Irrigation can dramatically improve tree survival rates. Native seed mixes provide food, cover, and pollinator benefits. Small annual improvements compound over time. Healthy soils help outcompete weeds naturally. And So Much More!

It may go without saying, but technology is the now AND the future of agriculture with new equipment coming at an incredible rate.

It sounds counterintuitive at first, that you can maintain a lower average water content in the soil, and a higher air content in the soil, by applying irrigation every day. Once upon a time, I thought the way to keep soils drier and with more air was to implement deep and infrequent irrigation. The blog post discussed is: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/deep-and-infrequent-or-light-and-frequent-irrigation-which-is-better/I also mentioned John Jordan's research, see: https://tic.msu.edu/tgif/flink/RECNO/59354Paul Johnson article about irrigation frequency: https://usgatero.lib.msu.edu/v02/n06.pdfRead more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Find a suite of decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/Get free ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/ Find out more about soil tests with ATC at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/soil-tests/

We are back with another solo episode! Fritz dives into the world of Reddit viticulture advice to separate helpful guidance from misleading recommendations. Using real vineyard and winemaking questions pulled from Reddit threads, Fritz evaluates the quality of the responses while adding his own professional perspective. The episode covers a wide range of vineyard topics, but throughout it, Fritz highlights an important lesson for growers at every level: context matters. Many online answers contain kernels of truth, but successful vineyard management depends on site conditions, climate, soil, vine age, regional disease pressure, and long-term goals. He explains why broad internet advice often lacks the specificity growers actually need to make confident decisions. Listeners will come away with a fresh perspective on vineyard establishment, irrigation management, pruning strategies, disease prevention, and realistic expectations for small-scale winegrowing projects. In this episode, you will hear: Establishing vineyards in cool climates like the UK and Northern Europe PIWI grape varieties and disease-resistant planting strategies Realistic timelines for vineyard establishment and first harvests Challenges of starting and managing a small hobby vineyard Irrigation management for young vines during extreme summer heat Reviving neglected Frontenac and Edelweiss vineyards in the Midwest Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mustafa Gündoğar, researcher, educator, and globally recognized voice in endodontics, to explore the evolving science behind how we truly clean root canal systems. From his journey into endodontics driven by microbiology and patient care, to his extensive research on irrigation activation systems, Dr. Gündoğar challenges long-held assumptions and reframes the conversation: are we shaping to clean, or cleaning to shape? Together, we unpack the critical role of biofilm, the limitations of instrumentation, and why irrigation remains the cornerstone of predictable outcomes.The discussion dives into advanced technologies like lasers and multisonic irrigation, examining their real-world impact, limitations in clinical data, and the practical considerations of adoption across global practices. Dr. Gündoğar offers a candid perspective on what truly drives innovation, including effectiveness, workflow integration, and economic feasibility, while emphasizing the need for stronger long-term clinical evidence.

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at OptConnect, a cellular IoT company helping businesses connect devices to the internet without making connectivity complicated. Justin Nichols explains how OptConnect supports everything from irrigation controllers to ATMs, kiosks, vending machines, wastewater treatment, solar inverters, EV chargers, security trailers, access controls, and other commercial/industrial IoT applications. For the landscape and irrigation industry, the biggest takeaway is that irrigation controllers do not need much data to be valuable. Most controllers may use only 50–100 MB per month, and often less, but the value of that connection is significant: remote access, monitoring, fewer truck rolls, better uptime, and more reliable service. Justin also explains why choosing the right cellular technology matters. Faster is not always better. For low-data irrigation applications, Cat M1 can often be a better fit because it has stronger building penetration than higher-speed cellular options. A few key themes from the conversation: OptConnect is not just selling hardware; they are simplifying connectivity. Irrigation is one piece of a much larger IoT world. The same connectivity principles used in ATMs, solar, EV charging, security, and industrial monitoring also apply to landscape irrigation. Antenna selection and placement are often overlooked but can be the weak link in the system. Multi-carrier and eSIM technology can make deployments easier because the contractor or end user does not need to manually choose the best carrier. The goal is fewer truck rolls, better uptime, and a more professional connected experience. OptConnect's experience across other industries gives the irrigation market access to technology that has already been proven at scale.

Can your soil hold enough water to carry vines through the season without irrigation? Miguel Garcia, Regenative Agriculture Project Manager at Napa RCD, shares findings from a 15-vineyard study across California's North Coast. By measuring organic matter, soil respiration, active carbon, and aggregate stability, the project evaluates how soils store and supply water over the growing season. Learn how cover crops, tillage practices, and deep root systems shape soil and moisture dynamics, and how dry-farmed vineyards compare with the broader soil health database.  Resources:   4/28/26 Dry Farm Site Tour, New Cuyama, CA | REGISTER 5/21/26 The Science and Practice of Dry Farmed Vineyards, Paso Robles, CA | REGISTER 171: How to Farm Wine Grapes for Climate Change   181: Can Applying Compost Reduce Water Use?   287: Dry Farming Vineyards: Where It Works and How to Begin California Winegrape Dry Farming Potential Map Dry Farming in Coastal California Vineyards Napa County Resource Conversation District North Coast Soil Hub  Support the Podcast:  Make a Donation  Vineyard Team Programs:  Juan Nevarez Memorial Scholarship - Help students from vineyard families pursue higher education Online Courses - Earn DPR and CCA hours with expert-led sustainability trainings SIP Certified - A trusted third-party certification proving your sustainable practices with science-backed standards Sustainable Ag Expo - Join top experts at the premier winegrowing event of the year Vineyard Team Membership - Connect with a community advancing sustainable winegrowing   

Irrigation and technology advisor Tom Devol has been helping growers with their irrigation system needs for years and he joined the Journey to discuss a couple of important resources that are freely available to the almond industry. Devol provides an overview and discusses the thought process behind two irrigation guides from the Almond Board of California: “Questions to Discuss with your Irrigation Designer” and “Guide to Irrigation Automation in Almond Production”. “The growers should be driving that conversation, not the designer…If you ask the right questions at the beginning, that may pay dividends for twenty years. It could also cost you for twenty years. Knowing the right questions to ask and being prepared for that meeting with your designer is really beneficial.” - Tom DevolIn Today's episode:Meet Tom Devol, irrigation and technology advisorUnderstand the thought processes behind the “Questions to Discuss with Your Irrigation Designer” and “Guide to Irrigation Automation in Almond Production”Discover where the industry is in the evolution of irrigation technology and how to be prepared for what comes nextDive deeper by watching the recording from the “Soil and Irrigation Management” session from the Almond Conference 2025 and by downloading “Questions to Discuss with Your Irrigation Designer” and “Guide to Irrigation Automation in Almond Production”The Almond Journey Podcast is brought to you by the Almond Board of California.
