A new tool available for the 2022 season, the KestrelMet 6000 AG Weather Station, has been designed to help farmers improve irrigation efficiency.
The on-site monitoring system provides growers with access to localized, live weather data they can use to optimize irrigation and production on a field-by-field basis. The KestrelMet 6000 AG measures temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, dew point, barometric pressure and rainfall. Starting at $1,299, the system can be customized with additional sensors to monitor soil moisture and temperature, leaf wetness and solar irradiance.
