Precision Variable Rate Irrigation in Minnesota

Todd Pollema, Farm Manager and Taylor Thompson, Ag Technician at Central Lakes College in Staples Minnesota demonstrate their precision variable rate center pivot irrigation system to Ryan Galbreath, State Resource Conservationists, NRCS. They demonstrate how the low-pressure irrigation system works on their kidney bean field. They explain how the major components work using the AgSense Wagnet apps on their phones. They show how the precision irrigation system conserves water by controlling how individual towers apply preset amounts of water. They explain how the low pressure system using large droplet size decreases water lost to evaporation. They also demonstrate how they use a soil moisture gauge to verify the amount of water applied to fields. And Ryan talks about how other producers who may want to conserve limited water resources can take advantage of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) at their local NRCS office.
