Irrigation Training Series

With increasing threats to agricultural water availability, your farm has two possible outcomes. In ten years, you’ll be toiling over a dusty, desolate wasteland, or if you’re resourceful, you’ll be living in the land of milk and honey, green pastures and all. It’s not all doom and gloom, but for some of you, it could be, and you know who you are. You’re the ones getting left behind who need more time and resources to research and invest in every new technology.

At JAIN, we know your long-term success boils down to how efficiently you use your water, and we’re not just talking about reading your decades-old flow meter. We’re talking 21st-century technology at your fingertips, customized to include exactly the things that will bring value to your operation and protect your family’s legacy’s most precious resource. Let us make sure your farm stands the test of time despite water scarcity and other uncertainties life throws at us.

The growing season is over for many, but the work still needs to be done. Summer is the best time for those who love fresh fruits and vegetables.

Unfortunately, as summer winds down, many delicious, fresh summer eats are taken off the menu. But they don’t have to be. Our webinar will teach you several ways to preserve fruits and vegetables so you can enjoy them all year long.

Please join us for this free seminar on food.

Richard Restuccia sits down with Aric Olson, President of Jain Irrigation, Inc, and Jeff Tuel, Executive V.P. Jain Distribution Holdings, to announce and discuss JAIN’s latest #AgTech acquisition of SWIIM: On Farm Water Accounting.

JAIN has been the #agtech leader in irrigation, and this new acquisition of SWIIM continues Jain’s path and progression as the leading technology consolidator in Irrigation and Ag Technology.

Additionally, details on how and when the SWIIM acquisition will be integrated with Jain Logic and improve the best water management tool available to growers today will be shared.

The West is in one of its worst droughts ever, and the dire water situation is spreading East across the United States. One thing is for sure; nobody knows how much rain will fall this Winter. However, growers, gardeners, homeowners, and landscapers should prepare for a dry winter and a short supply of water in the spring.

This week Cory Broad will share his water management strategies to manage the current drought and worsening water situation.

Today, the states of California, Arizona, and New Mexico represent 100 percent of the U.S. commercial pistachio production.

California comprises 99 percent of the total, with over 312,000 acres planted throughout 22 counties. Pistachios contribute $1.6 billion to the California economy.

As winters get warmer and summers drier, more and more growers are moving to Pistachios. In addition to their ability to survive droughts and adapt to saltier water is contributing to the move from Almond trees to Pistachio trees.

Pistachios certainly have different water requirements than other nut trees. In this Irrigation Training Series episode, Connor Cunningham will step through a scheduling strategy to help maximize yields in the field.

Microirrigation systems include several types of emission devices. Soil type, the landscape’s topography, plant type, and associated water requirements all impact the emission device used.

In addition, filter requirement, frost protection, and grower./landscaper preferences also make a difference. With so many choices, what is the best way to determine the best emission device for a specific job?

This week, Andy Belingheri, National Sales Manager for Jain Irrigation, is going to step us through a process to determine how to select the best emission device for the job.

Advances in nursery irrigation are so good that no one in a nursery should hand water a plant ever again.

The issue today is too many options for how-to water. Sprinklers offer flexibility and labor savings but beg the question which sprinkler is best for my situation.

This week my guest, Michael Pippen, will teach us what sprinkler is best for each application. If you have ever wondered about the best way to water plants in a nursery, this webinar is for you. Michael will take us through a step-by-step process to determine the best sprinklers to use.

Ponics include growing systems that do not include the crust of the earth. You are probably familiar with hydroponics, but there are many additional ways to grow plants and food using ponics technology.

The modern ideas of vertical farming use advanced ponic techniques and controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technology, where all environmental factors can be controlled.

This week, Charlie Harris will take us on a journey showing us many ways ponics helps grow food more efficiently and use less water.

Water rates, mega-droughts, and climate change are forcing landscapers, homeowners, and gardeners to rethink their plant choices in the garden.

However, some of the best choices might be plants you are already familiar with and love seeing in the landscape. The challenge is that sometimes we do not know how much water specific plants require.

The excellent news is that Nicholas Staddon from Everde Growers is joining us for a webinar to guide us to the best plants to plant in our gardens, considering their water use.

There are many choices in tubing for your indoor grow, but selecting the correct tubing can make a difference in both labor and yield.

Vinyl tubing is manufactured using polyvinyl chloride. Polyethylene tubing is also used for drip irrigation, and understanding the difference between the two will makes better indoor growers. There are critical differences between both, from a practical side and a technical side, and there are advantages.
