Over the winery’s 21-year history, Jim Cushman— Park Farm Winery’s vineyard manager— has observed many of the same things other grape growers have within the region (and beyond) have when it comes to climate patterns
Cloud-managed irrigation removes the labor hours spent turning valves without removing human decision making and control
As climate science progresses amid the further degradation of the Earth, it has become clear that climate change inevitably means less predictable and more extreme weather events resulting in more plant water stress.
There are several cons to relying on drip irrigation timers. The programming process can be complex based on the watering schedule you want to set and they still require work to set and update.
Smart irrigation systems give growers the ability to optimize and track consumption. It ensures you don’t waste water or superfluously give it away. This article explains what smart irrigation systems are, how they work, and how they can help address water shortages.
