By Julie Murphree, Arizona Farm Bureau: The Arizona Department of Water Resources and Central Arizona Project (CAP) are hosting a Colorado River Shortage Preparedness Workshop* beginning at 9 a.m. and running until noon this coming Wednesday (April 22). You can participate in the workshop via webcast too. 

The Arizona agriculture industry, certainly our farmers and ranchers using CAP water, are encouraged to attend. "Water is one of our most important resources," said Arizona Farm Bureau President Kevin Rogers. "This workshop will be a valuable tool for central and southern irrigation districts and the farmers and ranchers represented in those districts."
