Two-year-old pecan trees are dwarfed by mature pecan trees at Mason Pecan orchards, in Fort Valley GA, on May 8, 2019.
Two years ago, owner Thomas Mason reached out to U.S. Department of Agriculture to address the farming challenges that resulted from Hurricane Irma. 800 of 2,400 10-year old trees were downed by the wind. USDA Farm Service Agency’s Tas Smith was there to help. The orchard had to be cleared of debris before harvesting the surviving trees. The challenge is raising saplings alongside newly mature 12-year-old trees that require different levels of nutrients and care. This orchard’s yield will be cut by 1/3 until the saplings reach 12 years of age. Along the rows of trees and cover crop, burn sites, where tree cuttings were disposed of, are still seen in the orchard. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

Micro irrigation is used to water the Mota Ranch’s 36 acre almond orchard in Livingston, CA on Thursday, July 23, 2015. Owner Jesse Mota worked with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Merced Service Center Soil Conservationist Tomas Aguilar-Campos to create a conservation plan that included cover crops and micro-irrigation using micro sprinklers to spray water from a low height to water the trees’ root zones providing customized and efficient irrigation for each tree.

Leftover crop residue resulting from no-till farming is seen at an agricultural workshop hosted by Savage-Leigh Farm in Knoxville, Md., on Oct. 22, 2009. Experts from the University of Maryland Extension and USDA Agricultural Research Service were on hand to discuss innovations in manure application approaches that maximize nitrogen conservation and plant residue, nutritional strategies and the economic benefits of conserving nitrogen on dairy farms. The event featured field demonstrations of minimum disturbance tillage equipment, no-till manure injection, cover crop seeding techniques and straw cover for manure storage.

Micro irrigation begins with an economical reuse of irrigation water hydrants at Leafy Greens Farm in the Salinas Valley of California on Thursday, June 16, 2011. A series of reduction couplings lead to the collapsible header tube that supply water to dozens of separate tubes. That take water to every plant in the row. Water evaporation is kept to a minimum because water is delivered to the soil, not sprayed into the air or to exposed areas. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

Winter cover crops are fall planted and incorporated in spring to provide fertility and potatoes are rotated with other crops to help manage soil-borne diseases. In the background, a shed on skids provides mobile shade for the four Babydoll Southdown sheep that graze the headland areas, reducing the need to spend money on fuel and time on the mower.
