Water is one of the most important crop inputs on the farm, and can be one of the most expensive as well. Currently more than 80% of U.S. water use goes to agriculture and farms pay on average about $41 per acre for irrigation. But that figure jumps to over $70 per acre in dry areas like California. Clearly, efficient irrigation systems and water management practices are needed to help maintain farm profitability while also maximizing overall yield.
The M8 Systems platform provides a precise irrigation calendar for every zone in the field, allowing a farmer to be in total control from their smart device 24 hours a day. A complete irrigation solution for agriculture, M8 WaterGuard™ is a cloud-based system that requires no wiring, no WiFi, and no new infrastructure to deploy.
