Why Rural Utah Alfalfa and Grass Hay Farmers Are Looking for Better Irrigation Systems

In rural Utah, alfalfa and grass hay farmers often face the challenge of maximizing their crop yield with limited water resources.

In addition, as you are well aware The Great Salt Lake and The Colorado River are in trouble. Which means Utah farming is in trouble.  The traditional irrigation methods can be inefficient, leading to increased costs and wasted water. 

Farmers need a more effective way to water their fields, especially in areas where electrical supply is inadequate for traditional systems. That’s where we come in. 

Better Systems. Greater Output. Happier Farmers.

Maximizing Crop Yields with Subsurface Drip Irrigation: The Future of Farming

April 3, 2024

In the heart of agriculture, where every drop counts, innovations in irrigation are reshaping the landscape of farming. One such revolutionizing technology is subsurface drip irrigation (SDI), particularly impactful in crops like alfalfa and pasture. Let’s dive into how companies like ours are transforming traditional irrigation methods into more efficient and sustainable solutions.

What is Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI)? Subsurface drip irrigation involves burying drip lines beneath the soil surface, delivering water directly to the root zone of plants. This method ensures minimal water loss due to evaporation and runoff, maximizing water-use efficiency. By precisely targeting the root zone, SDI also reduces weed growth, soil erosion, and nutrient leaching, pr

The Science Behind Subsurface Drip Irrigation: How It Transforms Alfalfa and Pasture Farming

February 14, 2024

In the intricate world of agriculture, precision is key. Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) has emerged as a game-changer, offering farmers unprecedented control over water delivery to their crops. But what sets SDI apart, and how does it revolutionize the cultivation of alfalfa and pasture? Let’s delve into the science behind this innovative irrigation method.

Understanding SDI Technology: At the heart of SDI lies a network of buried drip lines strategically placed beneath the soil surface. These lines, equipped with emitters spaced at precise intervals, deliver water directly to the root zone of plants. Unlike traditional irrigation methods that saturate the entire soil surface, SDI ensures efficient water distribution, minimizing losses due to evaporation and ru

From Field to Fork: The Impact of Subsurface Drip Irrigation on Alfalfa and Pasture Quality

February 14, 2024

In the dynamic world of agriculture, every decision made in the field reverberates through the entire supply chain. Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is revolutionizing the way farmers cultivate alfalfa and pasture, with far-reaching implications for crop quality and downstream industries. Let’s explore how SDI is transforming the journey from field to fork.

Quality Begins at the Roots: Alfalfa and pasture are fundamental components of livestock diets, prized for their nutritional value and palatability. The quality of these forages is directly influenced by factors such as moisture levels, nutrient availability, and weed competition—all of which are profoundly impacted by irrigation practices. SDI’s precise water delivery ensures optimal growing conditions,
