Be a Pro

ARS scientists in Dawson, GA, helped to develop Irrigator Pro, an agricultural decision support tool that helps farmers and growers schedule irrigation for corn, cotton, and peanuts. 

So far, Irrigator Pro has proven effective; in Georgia alone, peanut farmers have documented increases in peanut yield and grade by 400 pounds per acre – equaling an increased net revenue of $5.5 million per year.
