UNL's outreach and extension irrigation program working with Nebraska producers to improve irrigation efficiency, productivity, and profitability. West Central ResearchJoined May 2024
Our program provides soil moisture technology to farmers. They get an opportunity to test it in their fields but also appreciate how data can inform their irrigation decisions. Ultimate goal is to produce more with less water using data from farms. @wcreec@UNLExtension@UNL_BSE
Today, we are out with our MITLab trailer looking at uniformity of the pivots for farmers. Using catch-can tests and drone imaging. Farmers will receive detailed reports about their pivots' water application performance based on data insights. @wcreec@UNL_BSE@UNLExtension
We couldn't agree more with this article from @GrowingProduce. Soil types can vary so much, even just across the road!
Temperatures fluctuate similarly!
Beacons can be weather stations, too! Get specific weather data and temp alerts with Soiltech.

Arable Mark3 Canopy and Weather sensors soak up some sun, charging prior to installation in the 2025 #CSUTAPS farm management competition field. #TAPS competitors (mostly producers) can try ag tech & #precisionagriculture strategies risk-free, thanks to our partners @ArableLabs
We spy 👀 with our little eyes some Soiltech Beacons!
Enjoyed this article from @UNLincoln@UNL_IANR .
Managing irrigation = managing drought. Keep an eye on conditions both above- and below-ground with @SoiltechW!

What should my soil moisture be? 💧
Soil texture plays a key role in how moisture is retained, which can directly affect your plant health. The water that is available to plants is held between Plant Wilting Point and Field Capacity.
Soiltech Beacons arrive pre-calibrated, fully charged, and assigned to their new users' account.
Check out some of the other specs of our Beacon hardware!
(Pssst! Ask us about those optional Beacon add-ons! 🏆)

With the use of a slurry, there is uneven distribution of water through the soil profile.
Using Sentek’s direct install method, your data is:
💧Real-time
💧Accurate
💧Reliable
Give your crops the soil monitoring solution they deserve🌱

Day 2: Water Data Program Open House at Twin Platte Offices. Our booth is set up and waiting for growers to explore opportunities to test soil moisture technologies on their farms. @NrdTwin@UNL_IANR@UNLExtension@wcreec@UNL_BSE
We are still having our Water Data Program Open House today at our North Platte office, 3021 East Philip St. Brave the weather and come see us to update your Water Data dashboard, and have lunch on us!
Attending Twin Platte Open House Meeting to connect with producers and share about MITLab. Great turnup and interest from producers to try advanced irrigation technologies @NrdTwin@wcreec@UNL_IANR@UNL_BSE
Thanks @waterforfood for highlighting our program. We are dedicated to working with farmers to find the value of utilizing data-driven tools in their irrigation decisions.

Last week, we had an opportunity to share our extension and outreach efforts with @MITLab2024 to Brazilian farmers, how the program is educating and training producers to use data from various irrigation technologies to reduce water use and nitrate losses. @wcreec@UNLExtension
The July 2024 edition of the Sentek Quarterly Newsletter is here, featuring product and IrriMAX Live updates, many recent Sentek activities, and lots of exciting events for Sentek over the next quarter.

Not all ET measurements are created equal. Reinke Direct ET™ by CropX provides ETa data, and irrigation insights. It also provides water use and availability monitoring. Stay informed and connected and have peace of mind with Reinke's farm management tools. 🌾🌽🌱
You will see us on the road with our trailer trying to test irrigation systems for our producers. We want to provide valuable information on application efficiencies and sprinkler uniformity to ensure a better crop and water use efficiency.
Sentek is attending and exhibiting at the Mudgee Small Farm Field Days 2024 with a range of our products on display. Feel welcome to visit and inspect Sentek’s booth (C28) and ask any questions you might have regarding the use of soil probes & equipment in your operations.
