💧 Water planning is back at the center of the conversation for Northwest agriculture.

The Upper Snake Basin is facing a below-normal runoff year, with forecasts sitting at 70% of normal and key reservoirs still below average.

Some systems are in stronger shape than others, but the bigger takeaway is clear: conditions vary by basin, and producers need a plan that fits their operation.

At Root Ag Advisory, we help farmers and ranchers make informed decisions before the season gets tighter:
• Water and operational planning
• Risk management strategies
• Financial forecasting
• Long-term business sustainability
• Succession and growth planning

Good planning does not come from last minute panic. It comes from knowing your numbers, your options, and your next move.
