One difference between the Farmscan

Variable Rate Irrigation: Worth Another Look

One difference between the Farmscan 7000 series product and the Valley model that is being tested in the field at this time is that the Farmscan controller is an "add-on" to the pivot, whereas the Valley VRI uses the normal Valley Pro2 pivot panel.
"Different software is loaded into the already available control panel," LaRue says. "So, from that standpoint, our controller is a little simpler and easier to use."

However, LaRue also notes that when the Valley product is fully released, the company will continue its agreement to carry Farmscan because both controllers have some different characteristics that make one or the other a better value to the farmer depending on the situation. "We believe each VRI product has a place in the market," he says.

For farmers who want to learn more about VRI, Valley Irrigation will be demonstrating its VRI product during the upcoming fall farm shows.
