Going on Vacation? How to Keep Your Irrigation Under Control from Anywhere

Summer is the busiest irrigation season, but it’s also the time when some farmers try to take a few days off with the kids. The challenge is obvious: crops don’t stop needing water just because you’re away.

Fortunately, today’s irrigation technology makes it possible to stay connected to your operation wherever you are.

✅Stay informed in real time

Before leaving, make sure you can check your pivot status remotely. Knowing whether a machine is running, stopped, or has triggered an alarm gives you peace of mind and allows you to react immediately if something unexpected happens.

✅Make adjustments without visiting the field

Weather conditions can change quickly during summer. If irrigation schedules need to be modified, remote access lets you adjust start times, stop cycles, or pivot speed without driving to the field.

✅Receive instant alerts

Unexpected shutdowns, power failures, or system alarms can happen at any time. Receiving notifications directly on your phone allows you to act before a small issue becomes a costly problem.

✅Save time and unnecessary trips

Instead of checking every pivot in person, remote monitoring reduces travel, fuel consumption, and time spent in the field, especially valuable during the busiest weeks of the season.

✅Enjoy your time away with confidence

With iControl Remote, farmers can monitor, control, and automate their irrigation systems from virtually anywhere. Whether you’re at another farm, in town, or on vacation, your irrigation operation remains just a few taps away.

Because taking a break shouldn’t mean losing control of your irrigation.
