A farmer's perspective on the importance of modernization: buff.ly/3cLP97q @bendbulletin #irrigationmodernization #water #farming #oregon

A recent global survey of engineers listed "building sustainable and resilient infrastructure" as one of the Top 4 challenges for engineers in the next 25 years. We’re grateful for and proud of the engineers working at FCA to address that challenge now. #WorldEngineeringDay

We're proud to sponsor this @gorgegrown event! Join us at the Columbia Center for the Arts to talk about the Hood River Watershed this Wednesday. Learn more: buff.ly/324W4n6 #irrigation #watershed #oregon

We've been working with @StoryGorge on an exciting new video project about the District of the Future. Stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime, enjoy some Central Oregon eye candy! #CentralOregon #OnAssignment #IrrigationModernization

Two weeks of progress at the #DerbyDam in 30 seconds 🏗 This is the largest horizontal #fishscreen in the US to date and will restore watershed connectivity and support fish movement along the Truckee River. Very cool to see the project come to life!

In case you missed it: Earlier this month, FCA's Margi Hoffman & Marc Thalacker of the Three Sisters Irrigation District explained how #irrigation districts have been working to modernize on @OPBTOL. Thanks for having us! buff.ly/30W9BNw #oregon #farmers

Exciting update out of #Bend: The Swalley Irrigation District's Rogers Lateral Pipeline Project is expected to be operational in April. The pipeline will prevent water loss & keep more water flowing in the Deschutes. Thanks, @BendBulletin for the update! buff.ly/2U0lZdV

Good news is spreading! Read about how #Oregon #farmers are ushering in a new generation of water infrastructure in the most recent cover story of @johndeere's The Furrow Magazine: buff.ly/2RtRBXw

Great to see districts in our Irrigation Modernization Program educating officials about conserving & efficiently using water in agriculture. Way to go Jefferson County Farm Bureau and Central Oregon Seeds for organizing! #orag #irrigation @EnergyTrustOR portlandtribune.com/msp/129-…

Great to see @GJCity out celebrating their new Farmers Screen. The screen marks our first installation to support municipal drinking water, and our first in Colorado! #DrinkingWaterWeek farmerscreen.org/wp-content/… … xitter.gq/GJCity/status/99497732…

Food production consumes 80% of water used in the United States. On #NationalAgDay we thank all the farmers and ranchers working with us to build a resilient future for agriculture, the environment, and the greater community through irrigation modernization. #agweek

We hope #ruralinfrastructure takes center stage in tonight's SOTU. Upgrading water systems in rural communities benefits #cities, #rivers and #agriculture, creating #cleanenergyjobs, #hydropower, and helping to return #salmon to rivers irrigationmodernization.fcas…

There is enough water to meet the needs of #agriculture, #cities, and #rivers. See how groups working together in the Deschutes Basin are creating win-win solutions for #farmers and the #environment. #ruralinfrastructure @troutunlimited irrigationmodernization.fcas…

#TGIF doesn't exist for a ditch walker; removing debris from open canals is a constant task. Learn how one district's underground piping created #cleanenergyjobs, saved #fish, and ditched the walking duties. #ruralinfrastructure #irrigationmodernization irrigationmodernization.fcas…

95% of Lone Pine's #irrigation water is used for crops. Learn why these farmers support piping upgrades that will reduce costs for #farmers, return water back to the #river, and protect their #livelihood. #ruralinfrastructure #irrigationmodernization irrigationmodernization.fcas…

Converting open canals to pipelines isn’t free. This Ag Community uses revenues from carbon-free, fish-friendly #hydropower to fund modernization investments & future projects. #cleanenergyjobs #ruralinfrastructure #irrigationmodernization irrigationmodernization.fcas…

Follow us this week as we share stories showing how upgrading water delivery systems is a #ruralinfrastructure win for everyone: #Agriculture, #Environment, and #Rural Communities. #irrigationmodernization @Morning_Ag irrigationmodernization.fcas…
