IRRIGATION—Valley Irrigation introduces the 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. For more information, call a local Valley dealer, or visit www.valleyirrigation.com.
