Minnesota Irrigator Program Returns to Becker — Nov. 18–19, 2025
Irrigators across the state know that water isn’t just a resource—it’s an investment. The Minnesota Irrigator Program (MIP) is back this fall, offering two days of practical, research-driven training designed to help you make every drop count.
Hosted by the University of Minnesota Extension in partnership with leading ag organizations, MIP 2025 takes place November 18–19 in Becker, MN, and focuses on maximizing irrigation efficiency, improving scheduling, and building confidence in data-informed water management.
Why Attend
MIP is built for growers, advisors, and irrigation managers who want to:
- Use irrigation scheduling to improve crop performance and conserve water.
- Apply soil and water relationship insights to better predict irrigation demand.
- Learn from university researchers and industry experts about new technologies and tools.
