Beck’s Hybrids tests automated sub-irrigation

This year Beck’s Hybrids Practical Farm Research (PFR) is testing John Deere's Field Connect automated sub-irrigation system, which enables water — based on field conditions — to be taken away or added to the soil automatically versus manually. Research results on the automated system won't be available until this fall. In general, though, sub-irrigation systems are a strong practice, says Beck's Hybrids PFR Director Ryan McAllister. Four years of research on sub-irrigation systems has shown a 35 bushel yield increase for corn, said McAllister. Being able to manage water is a critical step in limiting nitrogen fertilizer loss due to leaching and has positive impacts on the environment and farmers' bottom lines.
