How do Valley irrigation systems help farm profitability?

Is it worth investing in Irrigation systemValley, what are the benefits and for how long does the investment return? The answer to these questions is given by the farmer Andon Chemshirov.

Andon Chemshirov is the manager of AGROZEM — AV Ltd. and works in the land of the village of Skalitsa. The farmer manages about 30,000 decares of land in 10 plots around the village. Here's what he told us about his experience with irrigation systems Vallee.

Anton Chemshirov:On our farm we have about 800 decares of irrigation fields, which are built with Valley brand pivots. We work with this brand and with the company NIK. We are very pleased with the results obtained. We have been watering for the third year now.With us, the idea of irrigated agriculture is to make two harvests that are obtained very well at the moment.

The benefits of using an irrigation system are many. The method of raining, which the pivots of the American company Valley provide, are the most natural way to provide water to plants.The pivot system ensures cost efficiency for water consumption and machine operation. But not only.

Andon Chemshirov:In the irrigation system that we have, the advantage that we appreciate the most is that can only work with one person. With this area, it would probably take about 10 people for the reels, which are widely used, to maintain themselves and to manage to water the given area.

And more — Valley irrigation systems use sprinklers that represent innovative solution for multifunctional nozzle system. It allows quick installation of the nozzle in just one movement, while at the same time it can be used in four functions, by rotating the nozzle in the corresponding line, without the need for disassembly. Thus, it is possible to quickly and easily adjust the operation of the nozzles in the following modes:

- operating mode

- off position*

- flushing the nozzles

- flushing the line

*With the off position, the nozzle is positioned in the inspection position — in this position, only one glance into the hole is needed to check the nozzle condition.

However, the most valuable for Andon Chemshirov, and for a number of other farmers, remains the remote connection.

Andon Chemshirov:Among other things that are also valuable is that it can be controlled remotely and can be monitored remotely. We can fertilize through it. The pluses are many. It has nothing to do with the other watering.

It is a proven fact that Valley pivot systems provide uniform irrigation with the maximum uniform distribution of the required water, with only one system can irrigate between 100 and 2000 acres.

In our country, in many places there are problems in our infrastructure, which makes it difficult to supply water to the respective irrigation field. This is where the NIK team comes to the rescue, which provides full assistance to the farmers who have chosen to water. From the drafting of the project to its complete construction and irrigation recommendations.

Andon Chemshirov:The investment in irrigated agriculture pays off perhaps between the third and fifth year. So in any case, it is worth it and it is a good investment.

High efficiency in watering and quick return on investment are due to:

— The variety of shapes and configurations that correspond to the specific field;

— The supply of water from different sources, which is done individually for each field in relation to the most accessible water source;

— Remote control, which saves water, energy and human factor;

— Precise application of liquid fertilizers;

— Accuracy in watering;

— The possibility of efficient cultivation of two crops by means of a correct irrigation plan from Valley and NIK.

In its quest to develop innovative solutions, Valley maintains constant contact with farmers. Therefore, the brand continues to be the preferred choice of over 54% by farmers developing irrigated agriculture in the world. Farmers operating Valley irrigation systems report an increase in the profitability of their farms by increasing yields following the introduction of irrigated agriculture from 100% to 400% for the majority of cultures.
