With growing competition in the U.S. agricultural community from all over the world, today’s growers have reached a point where simply using their instincts is no longer a viable option. Increased regulations and restrictions for water resources have brought about the need for fast, easy and efficient tracking of both water and environmental conditions within each field.

A single field sensor measures soil moisture at three depths, soil temperature, air temperature and air humidity.

If farmers and agronomists were better able to use data from their irrigation management systems — including information on weather, soil moisture and crop types — they could make more informed decisions about when, where and how much water to apply, resulting in smarter energy and water use, and lowering costs while protecting or improving yield.

AgSmarts' platform operates via a wirelessly connected mesh network of sensors and monitoring stations that provide actionable information regarding temperature, soil moisture levels and weather conditions.

Ag industry comes together to create common set of data standards and protocols.
