WHAT: "Pivot Irrigation: Wireless Networking and Remote Sensor
Monitoring"

As technology is becoming more affordable to both private and
corporate farms, the use of telemetry technologies not only is
creating value to businesses but being utilized in new ways.
The latest telemetry trend is "wireless instrumentation" or
the ability to control or monitor analog and digital signals
without the constraints of wire. These signals may be used to
communicate to and from the pivot to the farm to check
moisture and temperature sensors, chemical soil samples, wind
speed for the best time to water, and the actual pivot
location and pump power usage. This capability, together with
Internet access, allows the entire pivot system to be viewed
anytime via a smart telephone. Steele will review how to
efficiently and affordably track data for pivot irrigation
farms, as well as weigh the pros and cons of newer versus
traditional systems of operation.
