Farmers Edge does water deal
Farmers Edge of Manitoba and Lindsay Corp. of Nebraska and Ames, Iowa, are integrating digital platforms, which they say will help growers make more informed water management and irrigation decisions.
The plan is designed to give growers the ability to add pivot irrigation data and access to FieldNET Pivot Watch through FarmCommand, which will help farmers better understand when, where, and how much to irrigate.
The combination of the two digital platforms helps growers to make more informed water management decisions to optimize applications and yield potential.
