Save Up To 60% On
Irrigation Costs!
Reduce Water & Inputs with EarthScout®
Research shows many growers with pivot or drip irrigation over apply water and nutrients as a precaution. With EarthScout, most growers see a 40-60% savings in water and inputs in the first season of use – saving thousands of dollars in water, electricity and fuel! EarthScout® is an affordable, easy-to-use, smart farming and smart irrigation device that installs in the field in minutes. The above and below ground air and soil moisture meters and sensors send real-time field data to the EarthScout® app on your smart phone – so you can dial in the precise water and nutrients for healthy crops – just above the wilting point. Plus:

Custom Configure EarthScout® for Any Crop, Soil, or Condition.
EarthScout® was designed by growers like you, to be easily adaptable for any indoor or outdoor crop, soil, or growing condition. With up to five different sensor ports for above and below ground monitoring, EarthScout lets you easily mix, match and add environmental and soil moisture meters and sensors as needed.
Our above and below ground sensors, when properly installed in the root zone, can measure soil moisture, temperature, and soil EC at various depths. Above ground sensors also measure air temperature, humidity, and solar radiation. All EarthScout devices are portable and can be installed in the field in minutes!
How It Works
EarthScout® was born as a result of grower roundtable discussions as a practical and flexible solution to serve their needs today, while always evolving to better serve their needs in the future. The easy-to-install EarthScout device captures multiple data points – in the soil and within the local growing environment – giving you up-to-the minute field information between zones. Data is wirelessly communicated back to your smartphone or laptop and visually displayed through our easy to use EarthScout app.
Case Study
Dan owns an apple orchard in Southern Minnesota where he is growing twenty different varieties of apples on 24 acres. His 12,000 trees include well-known varieties like Honeycrisp and McIntosh, plus other varieties suited for northern climates like Pazzaz, Riverbelt, Cortland and Zestar.
“When I heard I could calculate Growing Degree Days in my own orchard’s micro-climate, I knew it could help me better predict emerging disease and pest threats, and that’s really exciting,” said Dan.
