Posted 17 July 2006. Applied Turfgrass Science. Greenfield Mini-Pivots With Improved Technology for Turf Market Lindsay Manufacturing Co. Omaha, Nebraska (June 28, 2006) — Lindsay Manufacturing Co., maker of Zimmatic™ center pivots, announces the enhancement of the GrowSmart™ technology products for its Greenfield pivot and lateral lineup. The small-field irrigation system is ideal for turf farms up to 70 acres and is more efficient compared to other forms of irrigation. Made of galvanized, high-quality pipe, Greenfield™ combines an exceptionally strong but lightweight structure supported on extra-wide turf tires for minimum ground compaction and positive drive resulting in little to no wheel tracks under most conditions. "We saw a need for improved technology mini-pivot irrigation, especially in the turf market," said Rick Parod, president and chief executive officer of Lindsay Manufacturing. "We anticipate the demand for technology products to grow as the industry looks for more efficient and effective methods of irrigation." The GrowSmart™ technology behind FieldVISION and FieldSENTRY™ makes this Greenfield™ watering system the best choice for busy turf growers. The easy-to-operate FieldVISION controller and FieldSENTRY™ Wireless Irrigation Network reduce trips to the field with text messages or voice alerts on pivot changes through the Internet or a cell phone. The system will also generate basic water usage reports, giving growers even more time to devote to other activities. Some additional benefits include: • Accurate and effective water distribution, which lowers energy costs up to 30 percent • Improved water application, which results in uniform turf growth • Time and labor savings with no pipes to move as with manual irrigation systems • Easy-to-use, push-button control panels For more information on Greenfield™, contact your local dealer or independent sales representative, or visit www.greenfieldirrigation.com/turf.
