EvapoTransporation (E.T.) will also be examined and how it can be used with these new technologies.  Calvin Trostle of Texas AgriLife, will cover water requirements of various crops and how these technologies affect the timing of water application. 

Attendees need to bring a lawn chair, as seating will not be provided.
