N-Mobile Irrigation Testing Lab

UNL's outreach and extension irrigation program working with Nebraska producers to improve irrigation efficiency, productivity, and profitability.

We were highlighted by Irrigation Today. What motivates us is putting right tools and data in farmer's hands to make smarter decision, conserve water, and make profits on every acre. @wcreec @UNLExtension @UNL_BSE

Water can't be conserved without measuring it. At this year's ASABE-Meeting, our program was showcased. Sharing a journey of bringing irrigation technologies closer to farms, increase data awareness to improve irrigation management, and facilitate adoption. @wcreec @UNLExtension

[N-Mobile Irrigation Testing Lab @MITLab2024]

We are bringing advanced technology to farms to bridge innovation and adoption.

The Irrigation Water Management Lab is helping farmers make more informed irrigation decisions through on-farm testing of technology.

Its Mobile Irrigation Testing Lab works with producers to evaluate tools under real-world field conditions. ›› https://t.co/9ReBvfnxRQ 💧

Our dedicated team is racing fast to complete technology installation on all fields for cooperating farmers. They need right tools to make accurate irrigation decisions. The goal is to maximize yields with water and energy savings! @wcreec @UNLExtension @UNL_BSE

[N-Mobile Irrigation Testing Lab @MITLab2024]

We are on a good start for 2026 growing season as we get those sensors in the farmer fields. When sensors are correctly installed, data is put in hands of farmers to make better informed irrigation decisions.@wcreec @UNLExtension @UNL_BSE

[N-Mobile Irrigation Testing Lab @MITLab2024]

Our program provides soil moisture technology to farmers. They get an opportunity to test it in their fields but also appreciate how data can inform their irrigation decisions. Ultimate goal is to produce more with less water using data from farms. @wcreec @UNLExtension @UNL_BSE

[N-Mobile Irrigation Testing Lab @MITLab2024]

Today, we are out with our MITLab trailer looking at uniformity of the pivots for farmers. Using catch-can tests and drone imaging. Farmers will receive detailed reports about their pivots' water application performance based on data insights. @wcreec @UNL_BSE @UNLExtension

[SoiltechWireless @SoiltechW]

We couldn't agree more with this article from @GrowingProduce. Soil types can vary so much, even just across the road!

Temperatures fluctuate similarly!

Beacons can be weather stations, too! Get specific weather data and temp alerts with Soiltech.

When she's not busy onboarding Soiltech Insights users as a Customer Success Manager, Emily Stewart has another hat on!

Stewart Farms in Bargersville, #Indiana farms 1,200 acres of corn.

Producer engagement can facilitate adoption of best irrigation practices and data-driven technology. At the 2025 National Soil Moisture Workshop, a good example of our outreach program was presented. @wcreec @UNL_BSE @UNLExtension @aquaspy @SoiltechW @EarthScoutLLC @SentekTech

Arable Mark3 Canopy and Weather sensors soak up some sun, charging prior to installation in the 2025 #CSUTAPS farm management competition field. #TAPS competitors (mostly producers) can try ag tech & #precisionagriculture strategies risk-free, thanks to our partners @ArableLabs

[SoiltechWireless @SoiltechW]

We spy 👀 with our little eyes some Soiltech Beacons!

Enjoyed this article from @UNLincoln @UNL_IANR .

Managing irrigation = managing drought. Keep an eye on conditions both above- and below-ground with @SoiltechW!

What should my soil moisture be? 💧
Soil texture plays a key role in how moisture is retained, which can directly affect your plant health. The water that is available to plants is held between Plant Wilting Point and Field Capacity.

Soiltech Beacons arrive pre-calibrated, fully charged, and assigned to their new users' account.

Check out some of the other specs of our Beacon hardware!

(Pssst! Ask us about those optional Beacon add-ons! 🏆)

With the use of a slurry, there is uneven distribution of water through the soil profile.
Using Sentek’s direct install method, your data is:
💧Real-time
💧Accurate
💧Reliable
Give your crops the soil monitoring solution they deserve🌱

Day 2: Water Data Program Open House at Twin Platte Offices. Our booth is set up and waiting for growers to explore opportunities to test soil moisture technologies on their farms. @NrdTwin @UNL_IANR @UNLExtension @wcreec @UNL_BSE

[Twin Platte NRD @NrdTwin]

We are still having our Water Data Program Open House today at our North Platte office, 3021 East Philip St. Brave the weather and come see us to update your Water Data dashboard, and have lunch on us!
