Last week, we had an opportunity to share our extension and outreach efforts with N-Mobile Irrigation Testing Lab 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.

Thanks Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute for highlighting our program. We are dedicated to working with farmers to find the value of utilizing data-driven tools in their irrigation decisions.


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 Twin Platte NRD West Central Research and Extension Center Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources Nebraska Biological Systems Engineering



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.

We spy 👀 with our little eyes some Soiltech Beacons! Enjoyed this article from University of Nebraska-Lincoln Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources . Managing irrigation = managing drought. Keep an eye on conditions both above- and below-ground with SoiltechWireless! bit.ly/4dyruao

We couldn't agree more with this article from Growing Produce. 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. growingproduce.com/production/irr…


Producer engagement can facilitate adoption of best irrigation practices and data-driven technology. At the 2025 National Soil Moisture Workshop, a good example of our outreach program was presented.

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.

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. West Central Research and Extension Center Nebraska Extension Nebraska Biological Systems Engineering
