It's More Than Just Irrigation

Valley Linears give you more than just an irrigation solution. Linears offer benefits you will see the moment they begin irrigating your field.

Maximize irrigated area - A linear typically irrigates 92% to 98% of a square or rectangular field.

Reduce labor costs - A linear can reduce your labor as much as 50% compared with surface, side roll or hand move irrigation.

Maximize crop production with limited resources - linears conserve water by applying only the amount of water that's needed, where it's needed.

Irrigate difficult soil types effectively - Linear irragtion delivers lower rates of water as compared to the outer portion of a pivot. This can help eliminate runoff when irrigating on certain soil types.

A multi-purpose farm tool - Linear irrigation does more than just irrigate, it may be used to provide your farm management program with chemication, fertigation, germination and leaching
