Andy Carritt, vice president and general manager of global irrigation technology for Valley Irrigation, says:

“We are proud to welcome PivoTrac customers to the Valley family. This acquisition advances our technology strategy and increases our number of connected agricultural devices to more than 123,000.”

In addition, Valley gains additional talented team members as all PivoTrac employees will be staying on.

Karlyle Haaland, president, and owner of PivoTrac says he would never make a move that would not be a benefit to their customers.

“PivoTrac customers will gain the resources of the most trusted irrigation brand and leading dealer network. Valley shares our goal of helping growers do more while expending less water, energy, and effort,”

he says.

Carritt says that each connected device adds to the cumulative, positive effect that Valley solutions are having on the company mission of conserving resources and improving life. He explains that an average farmer drives 20 miles round trip for a single pivot check, so through the Valley user base of 123,000 connected devices, about 890 MT of CO2 has been saved due to the ability to manage pivots from anywhere at any time.
