Kern Irrigation Scheduling was established in 1984 with the purpose of providing farmers with insight and data to irrigate and fertilize crops more effectively. Since then the California farming industry has undergone significant changes in crops, production, regulations, etc. One thing that has remained the same is our passion to provide our clients with service that helps produce large yields, high quality fruit in the most agronomic and cost effective way.
Our role as a consultant is broad and is special tailored to meet the unique and individual needs of each client. Our core competencies are irrigation scheduling and creating nutrient programs for over 30,000 acres of citrus, nuts, stonefruits, and wine/table grapes.

Irrigation Scheduling
For over 30 years we have provided solutions that empower our clients to make educated decisions that increase yields, productivity and maintain plant and soil health. Our guarantee to our clients is to ensure each ranch maintains a uniform and efficient irrigation system that delivers the quantity of water the crop needs at the optimal time.
Irrigation Technology
We are always looking for innovative technologies that add value to the management of our client’s properties. We have extensive experience in irrigation automation, soil moisture probes, aerial imagery, weather stations, and other valuable technologies.
Irrigation System Evaluations
Our team can evaluate an irrigation system and quickly find system inefficiencies. We then provide solutions to further increase system distribution uniformity to make irrigations and fertilizer applications more efficient and effective.
Irrigation System Designs
The most well designed irrigation system is one that considers the future needs of the crop demand and provides flexibility to run a ranch in a multitude of ways. Irrigation water availability fluctuates and it is imperative to have a system that can be manipulated to meet any situation.
Soil Depletion Reporting
We provide our clients with weekly depletion reports; this allows us to better understand water availability, soil type, root zone health, and water demand. The sampling and sharing of this information keeps our clients informed and enables us to better understand crop demand trends and assists us to schedule each block with precision and efficiency.
Nutrient Management
Our team of CCA’s has provided fertilizer recommendations on over 30,000 acres over the last decade. As the cost of fertilizer inputs continue to increase we find the most effective nutrient program at the most economical price. We also provide our clients with amendment strategies to either reclaim a soil or enrich a soil for a harmonious balance of soil, root, and plant health.
