A new program is in place at Oakdale Irrigation District that helps farmers fund irrigation upgrades. According to OID the program works like this, “farmers will not irrigate land enrolled in the program for one year, OID will market the unused irrigation water to buyers, 95 percent of the proceeds will be returned to the farmer – 20 percent in cash and 75 percent in credits to make efficiency upgrades on their property.” The program deadline was January 14th for this year. Already there are farmers enrolling for the year 2016. More information can be found by calling the OID district office at 847-0341.
