Irrigation company helping improve water management for producers

An irrigation company is trying to assist farmers with water management technology and programs to help mitigate on-going drought.

Chris Roth, President of Nebraska-based Reinke Manufacturing, says the most common mistake is over watering and investments in technology could improve the bottom line. “If you’re putting on too much water, then there is an opportunity for chemicals to get out of your root zone.  That’s one way we can increase yields.”

For example, Roth tells Brownfield moisture probes connect irrigation motors, pivots and weather forecasts.
