VALLEY, Neb. — Growers interested in adding irrigation remote monitoring and control to their operations can try Valley BaseStation3 for free. The platform allows growers to manage and control their irrigation equipment from any computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone; with the option of no monthly or annual fees.

The new demo gives growers a hands-on, no-commitment test drive of BaseStation3. The demo puts growers in control of a simulated farm so they can dig into BaseStation3’s capabilities. They can create a step program, discover Destination ETA and Valley-exclusive Cruise Control and explore the Auxiliary Link control and monitoring features.

Growers can log in to the demo at www.valleyirrigation.com/TryBaseStation3.

“We work hard to make sure our technology keeps making farmers’ lives better and easier,” said John Campbell, Valley Irrigation manager of technology advancement and adoption. “BaseStation3 provides more control, more freedom and better quality of life.”

A free demo of the BaseStation3 mobile app is also available. Growers can download the app from the Apple or Android app store, then click on the demo button to discover the control the app offers and experience the intuitive design.

The technology of BaseStation3 also means growers can choose an Internet-connected or stand-alone installation, and select data radio, cellular modems, Internet protocol or a combination of technologies. A typical installation doesn’t require any recurring fees.
