Irrigation
Having WiseConn automation is like a dream. I used to drive out here in my ATV and manually turn on and off the valves. Now with automation. It’s easy.
Our goal as Vineyard managers is to create uniformity out of
chaos. There’s nothing uniform here, but that’s why we want to
make sure each plant is getting the right irrigation it needs.
