A Greenfield irrigation system is more than just an insurance policy against drought conditions. Producers know that water management is the key to producing high yields both for alfalfa, pasture grasses and sod. Water stress affects yield, crop growth, development and quality. Proper and adequate irrigation can also shorten the time from seeding to harvest. Why Greenfield for alfalfa/hay production? Shorter irrigation time/less labor - Greenfield systems irrigate more quickly and with less labor than side-rolls, big-guns or solid-set sprinklers. No hassle of moving pipes or turning valves on and off.Lower power costs - Greenfield systems work at lower pressures greatly reducing energy costs and specially designed sprinkler packages assure optimal wateringHigher production - Yields will increase because you can easily irrigate when required and with exactly the right amount with no stress to the crop. Why Greenfield for sod production? No wheel tracks - Light weight construction means less compaction, no wheel tracks and results in more harvestable turf Labor savings - No pipes to move, automatic irrigation saves time and money, especially with remote monitoring and control with the GrowSmart FieldNET remote management systemAdaptability - Flexibility in fitting the area to cover, irrigate only the area that needs watering while running dry over harvested areas.Lower costs - Single phase operation reduces investment costs and Greenfield mini-pivots cost less than standard pivots |
