The Irrigation Association is excited to announce that The Toro Company Foundation will be a premier sponsor of the IA 2024 Irrigation E3 program.
The IA is committed to supporting the irrigation industry’s innovators and future leaders by promoting career opportunities and fostering a professional and expert workforce. Through its Irrigation E3 program, the IA introduces students and educators to the exciting career pathways available in irrigation and provides them the unique opportunity to engage with leading companies and professionals currently working in the industry.
E3 winners are provided with exposure, experience and education as they attend the Irrigation Show and Education Week and experience the exhibit floor, take education classes and network with industry professionals. Since the program’s inception, The Toro Company Foundation has been a strong supporter of the program’s success.
