Precision irrigation automation has never been accessible for most wine grape growers. Because it’s expensive and complicated, only the largest producers with sizeable budgets could afford its benefits – until now. Since its inception, Verdi, has thrown open the door to a high quality, affordable, user-installed irrigation automation system for wine grape growers at all levels of production. Verdi allows irrigation to be managed on multiple properties manually, remotely, with schedules and by having farm sensors tell the system when the crops need more water. It also tells them when there’s problems, so they always know if their watering systems are functioning properly. “Previously, we would spend up to four hours a day, turning on valves, turning on pumps, ensuring everything was working. Now, I can remotely plan out execute my whole day within fifteen or twenty minutes, which frees me up to do bigger and better things on our site.” — Mathew Fortu
