Kurt Ducote
Ducote'S Tree Farm
For over three decades, Ducote's Tree Farm has been at the forefront of producing high-quality large specimen trees, establishing itself as a cornerstone in the agricultural community. Kurt Ducote, farmer and owner, has been deeply involved in the business for 31 years, overseeing 65 acres of production. Before adopting DropControl, Kurt manually managed electricity usage, irrigation data collection, and system troubleshooting. Thanks to WiseConn’s advanced irrigation management platform, tasks that once consumed hours can now be accomplished in a fraction of the time.

DropControl has been one of the best advancements I have put on my farm. The direct support line, radio frequency communication between nodes, and overall reliability really set WiseConn apart. Each node has a 24 back-up system that keeps your information safe in case of unexpected network outages. Cell phone towers crash all the time in rural farms like these, it's good to know that each node knows exactly what to do.
