Where agriculture meets innovation

While cotton is not as water intensive as some crops (cotton plants are naturally drought and heat tolerant), geographically, the United States ‘Cotton Belt’ is primarily concentrated in the southern states where less precipitation occurs and therefore there is more need for groundwater irrigation.  This has led to the cotton industry leading the way in responsible cotton production practices aimed at reducing water and energy use while increasing soil health and yield per acre. 

The agriculture industry has always been reliant on a skilled and dedicated workforce. However, in recent years, the sector has faced significant challenges due to workforce shortages, driven by factors such as aging populations, migration trends, changing workforce markets, and the disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The silver lining in this scenario is the rise of IoT (Internet of Things) devices, which have emerged as a powerful tool to reduce the impact of workforce shortages in agriculture. In this blog article, we will explore how IoT devices are transforming the industry and enabling farms to thrive despite workforce challenges while also enhancing work health and safety.

In the world of agriculture, success isn't just about planting seeds and hoping for the best. It's about making informed decisions at every stage of the farming process. Among these crucial decisions, irrigation scheduling stands out as a game-changer. When done correctly, proper irrigation scheduling can significantly impact crop yield, quality, and overall farm profitability. In this article, we will explore how this practice works its magic on farms worldwide.
