Extracts from the white paper

Over the past five years, New Zealand farmers have been measuring every drop of water being put on their farms. The most advanced farmers and ranchers are using water information along with other farm inputs such as soil moisture, electricity usage and weather patterns to create predictive models that help them answer the questions – “when do I need to water?” and “how much do I need?”
Knowing that fine line of using just the right amount of water allowed crop farmers to maximize yield from economically valuable crops while keeping costs low.
