OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lindsay
Corporation (NYSE: LNN), a leading global manufacturer and
distributor of irrigation and infrastructure equipment and
technology, and Nutrien Ag Solutions, the retail division of
Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE: NTR), the world's largest provider of crop
inputs and services, today announced a partnership that will enable
Nutrien Ag Solutions crop consultants (the company has over 3,500)
to leverage Lindsay's remote
irrigation management and scheduling platform to supplement Nutrien
Ag Solutions' offerings. Through this partnership, Lindsay and Nutrien Ag Solutions will also
automate the transfer of as-applied data from Lindsay's FieldNET Advisor to the Nutrien Ag
Solutions digital platform to strengthen growers' ability to
optimize water application amount and timing at every point
throughout their fields.
Nutrien Ag Solutions provides crop input products and services
that help growers make informed agronomic decisions. This
collaboration means that Nutrien Ag Solutions can now add
Lindsay's FieldNET Advisor to its
digital and agronomic offerings, enabling growers to better
streamline water usage as part of their overall field management
plan. The Nutrien Ag Solutions digital platform leverages deep
agronomic data science and leading-edge technology to solve real
world problems for growers.
"Because growers depend on us to deliver solutions that optimize
outcomes in the most sustainable way, we are committed to finding
industry partners that share our mission of applying the best
science and technology towards complex agricultural issues," said
Sol Goldfarb, vice president,
digital strategy, at Nutrien Ag Solutions. "Our partnership with
Lindsay means growers can augment
their knowledge and experience with real-time digital insights from
FieldNET Advisor."
FieldNET Advisor, a solution available through Lindsay's FieldNET remote irrigation
monitoring and control platform, is the world's first cloud-based
irrigation scheduling tool that delivers automated, daily
irrigation recommendations, helping growers decide precisely when,
where and how much to irrigate.
"We are excited and honored to be partnering with Nutrien Ag
Solutions," said Brian Magnusson,
vice president of technology and innovation at Lindsay. "This collaboration will demonstrate
the utility and effectiveness of FieldNET Advisor not only at the
individual grower level, but also for the ag retail business. Due
in large part to FieldNET Advisor's versatility, we expect to
continue to see meaningful results across the precision ag value
chain."
The data connection between the Nutrien Ag Solutions digital
platform and Lindsay's FieldNET
Advisor will save growers time by streamlining data collection and
entry and will further improve the precision of the resulting crop
zones, agronomic models and variable rate prescriptions. This data
connection is expected to be available later in 2019.
