Business Wire
Nutrien Ag Solutions and Lindsay Corporation (NYSE:LNN), a
leading global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and
infrastructure equipment and technology, today announced a
partnership that will enable Nutrien Ag Solutions crop consultants
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 whole-acre solutions 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 start to
augment their knowledge and experience with real-time digital
insights.”
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.
