Today, it\u2019s becoming a priority for farmers around the world to be able to integrate innovative and water-friendly agricultural practices.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you own your own farming operation, you\u2019ve probably already begun to feel the strain of the diminishing freshwater supply. In this article, we\u2019ll introduce you to some technologies and practices that can help you to save water. And, we\u2019ll also introduce you to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/msfagriculture.com\/agriculture-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">operating loans for farms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and how they can help you to implement water-friendly agricultural practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Three Revolutionary Water-Friendly Agricultural Practices<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response to climate change, agriculturalists across the globe <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/msfagriculture.com\/2020\/04\/10\/water-agriculture-industry-farmers-responding\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have been working tirelessly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to develop new and sustainable farming practices. In this section, we\u2019ll outline three of the most notable new technologies and how they can reduce water usage:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Drip irrigation<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This technology is rapidly becoming one of the most popular water-friendly irrigation technologies in the world. Simply put, drip irrigation is the process by which water is dripped directly and exclusively to a crop\u2019s roots. In this way, farmers are able to dramatically cut back on evaporation and runoff in their water supply.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Rainwater harvesting<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As you could probably guess from the name, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watercache.com\/education\/rainwater-harvesting-101\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rainwater harvesting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the practice of collecting and storing rainwater for agriculture. It\u2019s one of the most widely-practiced, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions to freshwater waste in the world today.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Cover crops<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Soil erosion and decay are perennial problems in the agricultural community. With <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cover crops<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, farmers can increase the lifespan of their crops as well as that of their soil. These crops are also a very effective means of collecting and distributing moisture, which helps farmers reduce their water usage.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How Operating Loans for Farms Can Help<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many farmers, the single biggest roadblock to integrating water-friendly technology is the cost of the initial investment. Thankfully, there are many loan options out there that can help you to pay for new agricultural technologies. Operating loans for farms, for example, can provide an easy and affordable solution to reducing water waste on your farm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Contact Our Expert Lenders Today<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopping for operating loans for farms shouldn\u2019t be a hassle.
