The overall purpose of this project is to upgrade 55 acres of irrigation water pipes and drip irrigation system with new pipes, valves, and establish a micro-irrigation system that will conserve water as well as improve the soil. Presently, NLFF has an irrigation infrastructure that was installed in the 1980s and is worn and needs replacement. This Project will also create an opportunity for temporary local employment during construction while increasing the longevity of the Farm and its operations. This project will utilize the latest modern approach to water conservation while increasing the crop production using soil amending practices.
