00:12:02 — Benefits of Participating in Voluntary Water Programs: We continue our Kansas water series with K-State economist, Bill Golden. He has done extensive research over the years analyzing the benefits for producers that participate in voluntary programs such as local enhanced management areas (LEMAs) and water conservation areas. This work has allowed for producers to increase water use efficiencies and production efficiencies in ways that they never thought possible before.
