"The sensor is read every 15 minutes," he says. "The producer can go to the Web site and see in real time what is happening to the moisture level of his soil."
Money For More Producers
Another good aspect of the AIM project is that the data and graphs will be available to the producer after the season is over.
"They will be able to go back, look at the data and say, 'This was a really dry period here. What could I have done differently?'" Yager says.
Besides innovative devices, the AIM project received a grant to include the water-conserving sod-based rotation program. Sod-based rotation incorporates rotations of perennial warm season grasses into row crop systems. The benefits of this type of practice include water conservation, carbon sequestration and reductions in the use of agricultural inputs.
