Texas Alliance for Water Conservation Cotton Project

The Texas Alliance for Water Conservation (TAWC) is an ongoing farm demonstration project that works with over 20 producers covering more than 6,000 acres in nine counties across the Southern High Plains of Texas. The project sites represent various cropping and livestock systems to compare the production practices, technologies, and systems that can maintain farm profitability while improving water use efficiency and increasing sustainability.
