July is recognized as Smart Irrigation Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about efficient water use and smarter irrigation practices. This month, we're sharing practical tips to help everyone conserve water.

Understanding soil conditions is one of the most important factors in making informed decisions around irrigation and crop health. While traditional soil meters provide useful snapshots, modern agriculture increasingly demands better data tracking, easier collection, and stronger connectivity.

Understanding soil electrical conductivity (EC) is the key that unlocks these insights. When you understand EC and apply this understanding to agricultural practices and environmental monitoring, you’ll be better equipped to determine irrigation, fertilizer, and other amendment needs.

At EarthScout, we encourage growers to determine their optimal soil moisture levels using in field data collected by soil moisture sensors.

EarthScout, the experts in soil monitoring, brings you a brand new product designed to monitor soil moisture for optimal growth and resource allocation: EarthScout’s Soil Cub Moisture Meter.

We sat down with Mark Lefebvre, Conservation Planning Team Manager and Certified Crop Advisor for the Stearns County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to talk about federal and state funding opportunities for Advanced Irrigation Water Management (IWM).

The EarthScout team first met TAPS staff members at a local event in Nebraska where it was learned they were looking for another weather station to add to the research farm.

We are back again with another year end wrap up and boy do we have a lot to cover.
