Please watch this brief video (click here for the link) for more information on the opportunity for paid technical assistance through the Planning for Efficient Nitrogen and Irrigation Management Pilot Project from the SSJV MPEP. SSJV growers can access the Grower Interest Form through their original invitation email. This information was presented at the Groundwater Protection Provisions and Paid Technical Assistance webinars on March 24 – 26th, 2026. Additional information presented can be found in the Module 1 and Module 2 recordings in the below Integrated Water & Nitrogen Management Training 2026 event recap. Slide content used for this webinar can be viewed here.
The Southern San Joaquin Valley ILRP Coalitions provided FREE one-day training events through their joint Management Practices Evaluation Program (SSJV MPEP). The presentations and materials were developed to assist growers and advisors with crop-specific information about nutrient management, irrigation efficiency, and the critical relationship between on-farm water and nitrogen management. Attendees learned about how to use water and nitrogen efficiently to conserve and protect groundwater resources and farm productively. The development of these resources was generously funded by a CDFA Water Efficiency Technical Assistance grant to the SSJV MPEP.
