Mobile Irrigation Labs
Provide Cost-Free Agricultural Irrigation Evaluations
Mobile Irrigation Labs (MILs) provide free, site-specific irrigation expertise in analyzing irrigation systems and educating agricultural property owners on how to improve the efficiency of their water use. The MILs provide recommendations on the improvement of existing irrigation systems and equipment and educate their customers and the general public on water conservation, irrigation planning and irrigation management.
In addition to providing recommendations on irrigation system improvements and management regarding water quantity and efficiency of use, the MILs assist agricultural producers by identifying water quality improvement opportunities available through the application of Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Best Management Practices.
Presently, there are eight FDACS-funded Agricultural MILs providing service to all agricultural producers throughout Florida.
