Many growers know that how they’re currently irrigating isn’t ideal for crop quality, yield, or efficiency. They know they could save water and lower their energy costs by irrigating at night.

based in California’s wine growing region, we know firsthand how precious water is. We’ll sit at the feet of any old timer and listen to their hard earned wisdom, but We’re not your grandpa’s irrigation system. We’re also not a bunch of geeks who sit in front of computers all day, pretending we know better than the grower in the field how to do their job.
We created Lumo because we love to get our hands dirty, till soil, plant and grow things on our own land, make mistakes, break things, and wake up every morning wanting to do it better. We know the significance of water—when and how much—when it comes to cultivating the best crops. We’re here to make it easier to put the right amount of water in your field.
Lumo is committed to radically reducing the amount of freshwater used in agriculture
today, agriculture consumes 70% of the world’s freshwater
Climate change and population growth are forcing governments and growers to adopt new water management technology. Currently, the systems growers have for managing and tracking irrigation are outdated and wasteful. Lumo’s technology optimizes productivity and profitability, while supporting growers as stewards of the planet.

It’s just like with food and money—we all kind of know how much we’re eating and spending. But if you never take the time […]
