Because of the water and labor savings, interest in mobile drip irrigation is growing rapidly.
 
Mobile drip technology provides growers a water-efficient irrigation solution that combines the benefits of a center pivot irrigation system with the unmatched water-efficiency and uniformity of drip irrigation.
 
Because the driplines deliver water directly to the soil surface, evaporation and wind drift are virtually eliminated, allowing for more water to reach the soil surface and deeper percolation to the plant’s root zone.
 

In this session, you will learn: 

  • How easy it is to operate a mobile drip irrigation system.
  • Hear how growers use mobile drip irrigation successfully on their farms.
  • Understand what a hybrid system is and why you can use mobile drip on almost every crop grown. 
We look forward to seeing you on Friday.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AT DRAGON-LINE, L.L.C.

Monty started in the Irrigation Industry in 1972, working for an Irrigation company that manufactured and delivered irrigation piping and products throughout the central United States. He started his own business in 1977 in his garage with three hundred dollars at 24.

He has been a distributor, designer, and installer of center pivots for 40 plus years, and has experience in SDI (Sub-Surface Drip Irrigation) for 20 plus years. This experience of selling more than 3,500 pivots and thousands of acres of SDI in his businesses has allowed Monty to understand the technologies and benefits of both irrigation applications. With the perseverance of the concept of mobile drip irrigation, Monty developed and designed Dragon -Line, the Orange Mobile Drip Irrigation, which combines the efficiency of drip irrigation with the flexibility and economics of pivot irrigation. While living during this time of the drastic decline of freshwater reserves, and feeding a growing population worldwide, Monty has always strived to find solutions and innovations for the industry, thus earning the Irrigation Innovation Award from the Irrigation Association for 2019. Today, he will share his vision with us about “How to make every drop of water count!” and the benefits of Mobile Drip Irrigation.
