OMAHA, NEB. (RFD NEWS) — Valley Irrigation is introducing a small field center pivot designed to maximize coverage and performance in fields up to 60 acres, offering a solution where traditional pivots may not be ideal.
Darren Siekman, global vice president of marketing and policy with Valley Irrigation, joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the launch of their Small Field Center Pivot.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Siekman explained why the new pivot is important for growers nationwide and what it means for those managing smaller or irregularly shaped fields. He described the pivot as “purpose-built,” highlighting its design to help growers make the most of every acre, particularly in today’s challenging operating environment.
