Global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and infrastructure equipment Lindsay Corporation, and data-driven farm management platform provider Farmers Edge have announced a new strategic partnership that will enable farmers who use the respective company’s applications to seamlessly share data between the two – a development which will help optimize water application and other inputs. As part of the agreement, the Farmers Edge suite of digital agronomic tools will be offered via Lindsay Corporation’s global network of over 350 dealers.

“We’re proud to partner with Farmers Edge to provide our customers with yet another powerful advancement within our industry-leading irrigation management solution. Among other things, this collaboration will allow us to provide our FieldNET customers exclusive access, within the irrigation management industry, to daily, high-resolution satellite imagery from Farmers Edge,” said Brian Magnusson, vice president of technology at Lindsay Corporation. “The collaboration of these two powerful ag tech platforms will give customers an unmatched irrigation management solution, helping growers maximize the value of their farm data to drive increased profitability.”

“Our strategy is rooted in whole-farm integration. Data integration is critical to help growers make the best possible decisions, maximize farm productivity and efficiency,” said Wade Barnes, CEO of Farmers Edge. “This partnership is another piece of the puzzle in our execution to build one digital platform that unlocks the value of data and addresses all aspects of farm management – from seeding to harvest, and everything in between, including irrigation management.”
