Jordan Valley Demo Farm Foundations Established

Today the AC4D intervention become an on-the-ground reality.   Land and water contracts were finalized and we established a dedicated electrical connection on the demo farm.  Neighboring farmers are already offering their help and support.  The demo farm concept is being very well received in the area and people are interested in what we will be growing this season.  Our team gathered soil samples for evaluation as we plan which amendments to add this season.  This preseason evaluation will also give us a sense of how salt affected the soil is and provide a baseline for future evaluation of the effectiveness of the soil enhancement strategies that we employ over the next four years of the program.
