Well we wanted some rain. Over 2 inches in less than an hour at our house. The hills to the north and west got much more than that causing the flooding.

A great start to addressing how agriculture is affected by climate change. Great people involved to help find ways for the agricultural community to lessen their contribution to climate change and to develop new practices to deal with the changing climate we are experiencing now.

Yesterday, we helped organize an event with federal leadership, discussing climate change outreach in Extension. The conversation was powerful, captured in this illustration, and today we will hear from state and regional leaders. Excited for what positive changes will come from these difficult and important conversations (talk to action) https://nationalextensionclimateinitiative.net/events/

We can all do our part to conserve water.

We often hear, “I’ll conserve when [insert industry or entity name here] does.” So, we thought this little parody of a well-known story about Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody paints a great picture as to why that mindset doesn’t help to .

It takes all of us to save Utah’s most precious resource (water). In case you haven’t heard yet, Utah’s in a really bad drought. All the recent rain/snow hasn’t diminished . Please, we 𝐁𝐄𝐆 you– be where you can, when you can.

Only some southern Utah counties need to be watering now. But for the rest of Utah, it’s ok for your grass to stay brown a little longer – it’s been dormant (hibernating) all winter and will rebound. Save now so there’s more to use when things really heat up.

But if you’re doing any of the following:

• Lightly water newly applied fertilizer (even better, time the application prior to a rainstorm).
• Repair and test damaged sprinklers.
• Establish new seed or sod.
• Mark sprinklers prior to aerating.

Turn off the water when you’re done and .

And we also 𝐁𝐄𝐆 you to like and share our page with your friends and family! ☺
