Our Story
Since 1984, we've been in the fields with California growers. Not behind a desk. Not selling software. In the orchards, managing irrigation for 30,000+ acres of almonds, pistachios, walnuts, and stone fruits.
Every one of those 30,000 acres came from word-of-mouth in a community where your reputation is everything. We've helped growers navigate three major droughts, countless regulations, and now SGMA. We're still here because we're part of California agriculture—not just serving it.
Family-owned. Locally-based. Certified Crop Advisors. When you call, you talk to agronomists who've spent 40 years managing water in the same conditions you're farming. We don't guess. We measure, analyze, and recommend based on decades of field data.
