“A grower can be sitting in his office, look at FieldNET and see exactly which fields need irrigation, how much water needs to be applied to each of those fields and then once he's comfortable with the recommendations generated by FieldNET Advisor he can just click run right there on his dashboard and remotely start and control those pivots.”

About Brian Magnusson
At the 2018 Potato Expo, Brian Magnusson, then Vice President of Technology Solutions for Lindsay Irrigation, presented on optimized irrigation management. He discussed the company's FieldNET platform and the new FieldNET Advisor product, which he said automates best practices developed over the past 50 years. Magnusson stated that the tool allows growers to remotely monitor which fields need irrigation, how much water to apply, and to start pivots from a dashboard. Regional sales manager Chuck Powell, who appeared alongside Magnusson, said the economic benefit is the most appealing feature for growers, citing reductions in labor, water consumption, and energy use. Powell added that the platform integrates irrigation scheduling, soil moisture monitoring, and weather data into a single system, and that the company planned to introduce FieldNET Advisor to potato growers that spring and summer.
