In the Midst of Drought, Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) Helps Producers Flourish

As the worst drought in 50 years grips the nation’s farmland, some Nebraska producers are seeing increased yields using significantly fewer water resources.  The trick, they say, is using Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) to deliver water and nutrients directly to the roots of their crops.  This is in contrast to applying water to the surface
