Irrigation can be super stressful. But it doesn't have to be. https://t.co/l53AQmQdIz

Does all your irrigation system knowledge live in one person's head? If so, you're not alone. You should also read this:

In this edition of Precision in Action, we'll show you how Brian Pires, the Vineyard and Grower Relations Assistant at Silver Oak, is using block-level flow data to figure out how best to schedule sets at their Twomey West vineyard. https://t.co/RYay38AtvI

X-ray vision into volumes. A spidey-sense for leaks. The ability to teleport from ranch to ranch. Lumo irrigators is a tool irrigators can use to do more with less and deliver better results at the same time.

The only thing more dialed than this view? Their irrigation schedule.

Redwood Empire Vineyard Management installed early versions of our smart valves, expanded to a dozen ranches in year two, and will use Lumo to precisely execute their irrigation plans across 25+ different vineyards this season. Here are 25 reasons why:

Smart Irrigation Sequences is the fastest way to schedule back-to-back irrigations at a ranch. Create an entire schedule in seconds. Automatically optimized for performance. And get a whole ranch irrigated in a fraction of the time. https://t.co/sMuN7t1HKP

In this edition of Precision in Action, we tell the story of how the irrigation team at Clos du Val Wine Co. was able to better optimize their set planning based on the block-level data Lumo provides. https://t.co/CS1jTbZDGp

“For the first time, I can say that these blocks were sufficiently irrigated, and last year’s canopy and crop proved that.” - Andrew Oliver, Vineyard Manager at Antinori Check out the full story here:

Installing Lumo smart valves is like flicking on a light switch. It brings irrigation performance issues to light, the ones you knew about and the ones you didn't. And it gives you the control and visibility required to achieve block-level precision. The impact is immediate.

Morgan Jernigan is a Customer Success Manager at Lumo who's spent countless hours helping vineyards install, operate and maintain smart valves. “They're super easy to operate. Really easy to install. And they give you straightforward data that’s really easy to read.”

More and more water districts are requiring growers to track their water usage. Complying can be expensive and time consuming. But it doesn’t need to be. Lumo smart valves makes automatically tracking your water usage quick and easy for any data reporting requirements.

It's gotten harder to be a farmer over the past two years. And that’s putting a ton of pressure on farmers to find new technologies, new techniques and new teams to partner up with. To find ways to operate with greater efficiency and make the most of the resources they have.

Lumo helps growers achieve better business outcomes through precision irrigation. And we deliver that precision in a much simpler and more affordable way by being the world’s first and only all-in-one smart valve for agriculture.

For the past two years, we’ve been focused on vineyards in Napa and Sonoma. We’ve learned a lot about what it takes to support our product in the field and help growers succeed. This year, we're finally expanding into the Central Coast and up into the Okanagan in Canada.

Valve automation has been available to growers for years. But opening and closing valves automatically is not the farmer’s goal. The farmer’s goal is to deliver a specific amount of water to the crop in a safe, efficient and accountable manner. That's what Lumo's built for.

It’s not cheap to maintain an irrigation system. But a poorly maintained one can cost you even more in terms of lost quality and yield. Here’s how smart valves can help you optimize your maintenance dollars and minimize lost productivity.
