The Foothills Forage and Grazing Association is making producers aware of a study involving water.

The association has sent out a notice to its members saying water is critical for successful farming and ranching, but too much or too little can create problems as is well known in the water scarce region of southern Alberta.

They say with climate projections predicting more severe drought and flood events in the future, it is clear that both water and agricultural policy and management may need to change to support a thriving farm and ranch community.

A research team from the University of Calgary wants to understand what farm and ranch practices or policy changes may provide more stable and effective agricultural futures.

The study takes about 10-to-15 minutes to complete.

Ag producers from all sectors are encouraged to take part.
