  • Three Keys To Irrigation Business Success​ with Michael Pippen

    Today’s irrigation world for many is unstable, and the future will be even more turbulent. Resin, cardboard, and transportation prices are through the roof. Products get more expensive every day, and even at high prices, they are tough to acquire. Simultaneously customer demands are increasing. End-user business is strong, and the current product supply situation combined with transportation challenges makes this year one of the most challenging.

    Michael Pippen, Director of Business Development, worked as growers and a dealer before coming to Jain Irrigation, Inc. He has a 360-degree view of what is happening in the industry and has three key areas to focus on in the coming year to make it successful. If you are a dealer, distributor, grower, or landscape contractor, you don’t want to miss this session.

    We look forward to seeing you on Friday, March 12, for this session.

  • Basic Soil-Plant-Water Relationships with Dr. Frank Gaudi

    Plant growth depends on two important natural resources — soil and water. Soil provides support and the nutrient reservoir necessary for plant growth. Water is essential for plant life processes. Effective management of these resources for crops and landscapes requires growers and landscapers to understand relationships between soil, water, and plants. This relationship is significant to irrigation users that desire to use best management practices such as irrigation scheduling.

    In this webinar, you will learn:

    The difference between soil texture and soil structure
    What saturation, field capacity, and permanent wilting point mean
    What soil moisture content is and how to measure it
    Understand soil moisture depletion
    Learn why available water holding capacity is important
    Understand the science of management allowable depletion
    Learn how to do some basic calculations

    Special Guest: Dr. Franklin Gaudi.

    It’s been ten years since Charles published the book The Big Thirst, and he shares some insights on water and his book ten years later.

    During this webinar, you will learn:

    Why the next ten years will be the most intense and innovative period for water in history
    Why everyone needs the best technology to manage water
    How and why we need to improve the safety of our water supply
    Why incentives are required to motivate people to conserve
    How the solution right water, right place, right time works
    What the The Big Thirst got right and where it missed

  • What Is Smart Irrigation with Jim Kauth

    Plants need water, whether it’s a green golf course, a vineyard, or almond orchard. Landscape managers and farmers must irrigate their plants, but water has become a more limited, often expensive, resource due to worldwide climate change.

    This is why smart irrigation systems that water more efficiently are becoming more popular.

    There is a broad spectrum of smart irrigation technology consumers can benefit from utilizing. Choosing the right technology for the situation is essential to maximize potential water savings.

    Fortunately, on Friday, we have Jim Kauth, President at Aqua Trac in Arizona, helping us navigate smart irrigation. Jim’s water management involvement spans over 20 years, and he is well known in the water management industry as one of the top advisors.

    Special Guest: Jim Kauth.
