VRI
Variable-rate irrigation is not new, but it is a technology that continues to grow and develop. A great tool to even out variances in soil types, slopes and aspect.
Individual sprinklers can be turned off over lanes, streams and troughs etc. VRI saves water and reduces track maintenance and lame cow expenses. A well-scheduled irrigation plan reduces or stops run-off and leaching. Changing plans and controlling the pivot can be done both at the panel or remotely via an app.
