Onions and potatoes, along with other commodity crops, are irrigated using a variety of different methods, including drip irrigation, drain tile, and 360 RAIN. Several irrigators in the region are testing a novel satellite sensor and advanced modeling to measure moisture in the soil profile with the goal of saving water and conserving this valuable natural resource (backed by the National Science Foundation ag engine FARMS). Animal agriculture is also significant in this area, and hog manure works in tandem with irrigation to help the crops succeed. Learn how irrigation, conveyance ditches, hogs, and innovations in technology contribute to the economy in the southeast region of the state. The tour begins and ends in Oakes.\n​The public is invited to attend the tour, which costs $30 per person, and includes transportation, informational materials, meals, refreshments and a one-year digital subscription to the North Dakota Water magazine.\nRegistration is required for this tour. For questions or to register, contact Julie Ellingson ( mailto:jellingson@ndwater.net ) or call 701-223-8332.\nJuly 15 – Oakes Tour Agenda\n2025 Water Tours Brochure\nThe North Dakota Water Education Foundation would like to thank this year’s tour sponsors.
