Adam Stallaert Farms saves

an average of 40 hours per week with FarmHQ.

Equipment: 2 Irrigation Pumps, and 2 Hard Hose Reels

Location: Ontario, CAN

Operation: Vegetable Grower

Challenges

Adam grows parsnips, carrots, and tomatoes on his farm. Every irrigation run costs him an hour of travel, which takes him away from other critical tasks on the farm. He knew that a full season of irrigation would require extra labor given the need for pump and reel shut-offs, overnight check-ins, and limited windows to start irrigation each day.

The Solution

By installing FarmHQ’s irrigation monitoring solution, Adam can remotely irrigate right from his phone and get notified when it finishes, no matter where he is. He installed the device on his equipment in less than an hour using FarmHQ’s easy-to-install guides. The remote monitoring & shut-off is helping him save time and labor. The remote monitoring & shut-off is helping him save time and labor, and allowing him to adjust his irrigation practices to be more efficient.

In Their Words

Irrigate From Your Phone 24/7

“Before, if we had a 10 hour pull, we’d have to wait until the end of the day to start it up so it didn’t finish in the middle of the night. Now, we can start when it’s convenient, which saves us from having an extra person to check on them.”

Lowers Cost of Management

“We made more investment in equipment than having extra people. So we don’t have a lot of people to fall back on in the middle of the night. We can start irrigating when it’s convenient and not care if it’s going to finish in the middle of the night.”

Get a Full Night’s Sleep

“I can be in two places at once, no more waking up in the middle of the night!”

Bottom Line

“It’s a life changer. It’s hard to explain unless you’ve irrigated. We used to have to stay close to the pump. To have the option to turn them off remotely, it’s priceless.”
