Pierce Corner Systems

www.PierceCorporation.com
The new Pierce CornerMaster System benefits from the latest in control environments. Using variable-frequency drives, Constant Move Technology is utilized to control the speed of the pivot and the corner span.
As the machine moves through the field, the control system determines how much water is required during acceleration or deceleration and adjusts the water application accordingly, to minimize both under- and over-watering. Coordination of the variable drives is accomplished by a unique linear slide mechanism between the end tower and the corner span. This eliminates the stresses placed on the corner by the pivot.
As part of their ControlMaster Series for the Pierce CP-600 Center Pivot System, Pierce will shortly release the EvoTouch Control Panel. The EvoTouch has standard generic wi-fi protocol that is compatible with all the mainstream internet browsers. Utilizing the latest in high-resolution touch-screens, the EvoTouch boasts screen brightness almost twice that of most cell phones.
Double M Products

travism@doublemsupply.com
Making irrigation easier and more efficient for growers is the purpose behind three innovative products available through Double M Ag and Irrigation. Located in American Falls, Idaho, Double M is always working on ways to increase productivity for growers across the country and the world.
Three irrigation products Double M has to offer for the grower include: a pivot jack, poly-lined boom back and Starr Trak. The pivot jack is similar to a trailer jack and can replace a High Lift or Handyman jack. Travis Mills and his team at Double M saw a product that could pose a danger on those using it and created a product that was safer to be utilized in the field. The pivot jack is placed under the base beam of the center pivot in order to raise the pivot and change tires in the field.
The second is the poly-lined boom back, which increased the durability of an existing theory by using a poly-lined tube to decrease the probability of rust forming. Double M noticed those that are currently in use were not getting the longevity that was required and created the solution.
The third and final product is the Starr Trak. This particular piece of equipment is a flotation device for the center pivot wheels. It increases the flotation on the pivots so they do not get stuck and turn off. This decreases the probability of the pivots turning off and the crops not receiving the necessary water irrigation.
IACO Hose Booms

Installing Part-Circle Rotators on Hose Booms minimizes wheel tracking issues and maximizes the effectiveness of part-circle devises as compared to mounting on straight drops. The IACO Hose Boom is the only boom recommended by Nelson for use with the Part-Circle Rotator.
Whether you are using tried-and-true water dispersal units requiring a length of hose or the latest technology in part-circle units, the Hose Boom takes it in stride. Leave a length of hose hanging or pull it up close to absorb side force and control rotational torsion.
The Hose Boom features a unique torque clip and side-force control fitting to hold the part-circle water pattern in place. With built-in dampening you have system stability and extended wear life.
Sixteen feet of 17-gauge galvanized tubing means a full 15 feet of offset. With 24 feet of hose already installed, you have a totally non-corrosive connection-no more rust flakes. New galvanized brackets with slotted holes make for easy assembly. IACO now manufactures a 10-foot Hose Boom, providing just the right amount of offset necessary when installing PC-R3000 Rotators.

MorpH2O Water Management, LLC, is dedicated to providing cost-effective water management solutions for lawns and landscapes. Their motto is "Transforming Water Management-Worldwide."
The Aguamiser interrupts scheduled irrigation events when soil moisture is at or above a pre-determined level called an interruption point. Once the interruption point is determined, the Aguamiser will stop scheduled but unneeded irrigation events. When the irrigation timer/controller opens the 24-volt circuit to the remote valve, the Aguamiser takes a soil moisture measurement, compares it to the interruption point and cuts the common if the soil moister level is at or above the interruption point. This prevents over-irrigation without ever having to adjust the timer/controller while maintaining a beautiful turf and landscape.

Quality water is at the heart of all agricultural operations. Without good water, crops can't get the sustenance they need and, as a result, farms produce at lower than desired levels. Past technologies for improving the quality of irrigation water have proven unsuccessful and extremely expensive. The Irrigation Enhancer is here to change all of that.
The Irrigation Enhancer by Eco1st Technology Group provides growers with the enhanced water they need to increase plant health, improve water conservation and drastically increase profits. The Irrigation Enhancer takes contaminated and/or salty irrigation water and literally transforms it into "enhanced water"-ionized water more easily absorbed by crops-thereby reducing the stress on plants and improving the overall health and yield of virtually any grower's crop.
The Irrigation Enhancer is an inline water enhancement system shown to increase crop yields by anywhere from 25 to 100 percent, as attested to by Eco1st satisfied customers. Eco1st has recently implemented an equipment rental option that makes this high-quality, result-driven technology affordable for every grower looking for that edge to increase profits.

Valley DropSpan
(402) 359-2201
www.valleyirrigation.com
Valley Irrigation, the leader in precision irrigation, continues to give growers more choices by introducing the new Valley DropSpan for center pivots. The DropSpan allows growers to irrigate additional acres with a center pivot by "dropping" spans upon arriving at a large obstruction in a field, allowing the center pivot to continue irrigating.
The Valley DropSpan allows growers to put every possible acre under mechanized irrigation-acres that were never irrigated before, or were irrigated with a less-efficient method, can now be picked up with a center pivot. In addition to the DropSpan, the Bender160, Bender30 and corner machines from Valley irrigate additional acres for a low investment.
