💧 California growers are rewriting the water playbook.

Between shifting allocations, SGMA restrictions, and rising pumping costs, water has become the most valuable and constrained input in agriculture. Deficit irrigation is no longer a “what if” strategy. It is a necessity.

In our latest blog, we explore:
✔ How deficit irrigation impacts almonds, pistachios, citrus, and wine grapes
✔ The real costs of probes vs. imagery and how the two work best together
✔ A practical 7-step playbook to put deficit irrigation into action
✔ The sustainability and compliance dividend that forward-thinking growers are already seeing

Read the full blog by Anubhav Sharma to see how imagery is helping California growers turn water scarcity into a strategic advantage:

Deficit Irrigation: Finding the Balance Between Survival and ROI Learn how California growers are using deficit irrigation strategies and imagery technology to navigate water cuts, protect crop quality, and improve ROI in a volatile climate.

Cheers to the start of the 2025/2026 season for Chile! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

Last week, Bram had the chance to visit one of our customers, Century Orchards, right in the middle of their almond bloom. The views were incredible—and a great reminder of the beauty behind the data we work with every day.

Real results from our field studies:
• 8-12% increase in yield
• Reduced water usage
• Lower fertilizer needs
• Decreased pesticide application

But the biggest win? 200+ irrigation issues detected and resolved before affecting yield.

This isn't future tech—it's happening now, helping real farmers protect real crops.
