Innovative Farmer Boosts Efficiency with 360 RAIN, Precision Tech & Mixed Fleet

On this special road edition of Technology Corner, we pay a visit to innovative farmer Robert Boyle in Coolidge, Ariz. Boyle reveals some of the secret weapons — including 360 RAIN — that help boost his profitability and efficiency on soils receiving only 7 inches of rain annually.  

Noah Newman: "We're here in Coolidge, Arizona for a special road edition of Technology Corner here with 2026 strip-till innovator of the year, Robert Boyle to talk technology. And Robert, we have a big piece of technology behind us here. The 360 rain. Tell us a little bit about it when you get out of this."

Robert Boyle: "So this is our autonomous sprinkler. We're using it to irrigate this crop of corn. It's our second crop with it. We've had an oak crop before that. We're using 225 gallons a minute. We're irrigating a hundred acres. Right now we're getting around on it. It takes us about seven days to get around on that corn and then be back on it. Puts on six tenths of an inch is what we're putting on right now. And then I'm putting all my fertilizer on with it. We're getting way better utilization through the banding of the fertilizer through the wide drop of the rain unit than we are with our flood irrigation. Probably going to be able to use half the liquid fertilizer we've been using."

Case IH invited us out to an event in Racine, Wisconsin, and it turned out to be an absolute trip of a lifetime! CaseIH is celebrating the 250th anniversary in style!! Very cool to be apart of this event!

We kicked things off with an incredible deep-dive into the rich history of Case IH and the legendary Magnum tractor lineup. From there, we got exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the official Case IH testing facility to see how these massive machines are pushed to their absolute limits.

But the real highlight came after the tour. We were transported to a location for the main event: the grand unveiling of a brand-new, completely custom, 1-of-1 tractor named "Providence."

A massive thank you to Case IH for inviting us out and letting us bring you guys along for the ride. This was an experience we won't ever forget!
