Join Dr. Catherine Tarasoff, PhD. PAg for an informative afternoon at Fresh Valley Farms to explore the planning, approval, and construction process behind installing an on-farm water storage pond.
As water management becomes increasingly important for agricultural operations, this field event will walk participants through the real-world experience of developing a water storage pond, from the initial planning stages and regulatory approvals to hiring contractors and navigating unexpected challenges along the way.
