Valley Launches $100,000 Grant to Support Grower-Led Irrigation Solutions

Valley® Irrigation, the global leader in advancing agricultural productivity through precision irrigation technologies, has officially launched the Valley Irrigation Grant, a landmark $100,000 initiative designed to help growers tackle their most pressing water challenges through smart, on- farm innovation.

This grant underscores Valley’s long-standing belief that growers are the most vital resource in agriculture, and that strategic investment in their ideas is the best way to drive progress across the industry. 

“As the pace of change accelerates across ag, the ingenuity of farmers is what leads us forward,” said Darryl Matthews, Group President – Agriculture for Valmont Industries. “We’re proud to stand behind growers with a real investment, real technology, and a network of support to help turn their biggest challenges into lasting solutions.”

Through the program, two North American growers will be awarded in-kind grants, $75,000 for the Grand Prize and $25,000 for the Secondary Prize, redeemable for Valley equipment, technology, and services through their local Valley dealer. Applications are now open at valleyirrigation.com/grant and will be accepted through December 15, 2025.
