Precision Water Management Built for Rupert Growers

GPS-Guided Irrigation That Follows Your Field's Layout

When traditional pivot systems leave corners dry or struggle with irregular field shapes in Rupert, growers need a solution that adapts to the ground they work. The 360 Rain system uses GPS technology to trace the exact paths your planter created, covering every acre without being locked into a circular radius. Its base station communicates with the machine's receiver to guide movement around obstacles and through odd-shaped parcels that pivots simply can't reach efficiently.

A hose-tethered design pulls water from wells, pipelines, or surface sources through a 3,000-foot, 3-inch hose managed by a vertical reel. This setup covers up to 200 acres while sensors monitor ground speed, reel movement, and turning radius to prevent drag or push. The diesel-electric powertrain consumes half a gallon of fuel per hour, enabling runs that stretch up to 600 hours on one tank. For operations across Rupert's diverse terrain, this combination of range and fuel economy makes long-season irrigation practical without constant refueling stops.

Banded Application That Cuts Water Use and Delivers Nutrients

Water reaches crops through a boom equipped with drop hoses tailored to your planting pattern. Y-DROP configurations suit row crops like corn and soybeans, flat-fan nozzles handle solid-seeded grains and alfalfa, and custom drops work for potatoes or onions. Each style delivers water in a 15-inch band at the plant base, reducing evaporation loss compared to overhead methods. Flow rates between 150 and 200 GPM keep applications steady while the banded approach ensures more water reaches root zones instead of evaporating mid-air.

Pairing the system with the 360 Injection Skid turns it into a platform for water, fertilizer, or manure delivery. Adjustable VFD pump controls let you change application rates on the fly, and multiple voltage options adapt to different farm electrical setups. Real-world results show the difference: one grower irrigating 205 acres dropped weekly water use from 4.06 million gallons with a pivot to 1.47 million gallons with banded delivery at 0.35 inch per acre, achieving the same crop response as 0.7 inch from overhead.
