PIVOTING OUR IRRIGATION STRATEGY
Drive through farmland during the summer and you will notice enormous steel tower “irrigation pivots” (or what people here call a “Delmarva carwash”) stationed in the fields. These large crop sprinklers have been shown to be profitable by creating bigger, heartier crops.

The flipside is that they can be expensive to run. Each unit can pump up to 1200 gallons-per-minute across a field. That is a tremendous amount of water, and while we seem to have an endless supply of around us on the Peninsula, that’s not always the case.

When you water a houseplant, it’s easy to touch the soil and know if the plant needs water. It is much harder to look at an entire field and know if it is too dry. Most farmers (including me, up to this point) err on the side of having plenty of water on their crops, which can waste ground water, staff-hours and diesel fuel.  Read the full blog post here .
