- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $737,332 project grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Colorado State University. The 3-year project, beginning June 1, 2024, aims to develop a high-resolution, near real-time monitoring and forecasting system for agroecosystem drought and forage production in the Western Great Plains. The system will leverage satellite and ground observation data as well...
- This $591,500 federal Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 - Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) to Colorado State University aims to produce detailed soil moisture content (SMC) maps at the root zone level for dryland farming areas across Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. The goal is to generate SMC maps at 30-meter resolution every 2-3 days, stratified by soil depth increments of 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 cm. These...
- This $527,360 Project Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to support evidence-based policymaking for agricultural water conservation. The key objectives of the 3-year project include: 1) collecting irrigation water rights and runoff data to create a geospatial database, 2) exploring the impact of water rights and supply uncertainty on...
- This federal Project Grant award for $601,248, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, aims to develop an automated soil moisture monitoring system for precision agriculture. The key products and services to be delivered include: Design, simulation, and characterization of passive soil moisture sensing coils that can measure soil moisture without requiring a power source. Development of machine...
- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $745,200 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to the Board Of Regents Of The Nevada System Of Higher ED, doing business as the University Of Nevada, Reno. This grant aims to develop an open-source, site-specific irrigation decision support system (DSS) to help farmers in the western U.S. more effectively manage deficit irrigation for crops like alfalfa, corn, and cotton....
- This Project Grant award, valued at $650,000 and awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, aims to empirically assess the importance and sustainability of adaptive irrigation under climate change. The three key objectives are: 1) estimating the link between extreme heat and adaptive irrigation, 2) predicting groundwater stock dynamics under climate change, and 3) analyzing...
- This $601,241 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program, CFDA 10.310) to Brigham Young University aims to develop a system that provides farmers with detailed information on soil moisture levels in their fields. The goal is to enable farmers to apply water more precisely, growing the same amount of produce while using less water. The project will deploy a network of inexpensive Bluetooth soil moisture sensors across a field to collect...
- This $650,000 Project Grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA Program, aims to assess and forecast salinity levels, movement, and mitigation strategies in the semi-arid South Platte River Basin in Colorado. The key objectives are to: (1) quantify salinity concentrations, storage, and movement in soils, groundwater, and surface water; (2) forecast the impact of future climate, land use, and water...
- This $10,000,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research, education, and extension activities focused on improving irrigation and climate adaptation strategies in the Southern Great Plains region.
