Droughts and floods are two weather extremes that farmers are very familiar with. After either weather extreme it is important to know how your soil is recovering.
One of the most important aspects of healthy crop yield is ensuring that soil is at the proper moisture and salinity levels. Soil moisture sensors are ideal for utilizing, planning, and identifying the need for irrigation systems, as well as identifying problem areas where soil contains too much or too little water.
