Our mission is to extend lifelong learning to Georgia citizens through unbiased, research-based education in agriculture, the environment, communities, youth and families.
Cotton, corn, and peanut production require a significant amount of water throughout the growing season. Current methods of irrigation scheduling used by producers are outdated and inefficient. The use of soil moisture sensors can allow producers to increase irrigation efficiency and profitability by using less water and maintaining high yields. After trialing soil moisture sensors in row crop fields, many producers felt comfortable enough with the technology to invest in the purchase of soil moisture sensors. As of October 2025, 14 soil moisture sensors have been purchased by growers in Webster County, which have allowed growers to make more educated irrigation decisions on over 900 acres of row crops. Increased irrigation efficiency from the data supplied allowed the growers to not only save water, but also increase profitability with savings of over $32/acre with a total of almost $29,000.
