Will Center Pivot Irrigation Benefit My Farm?


At Michigan Valley Irrigation we have seen and conquered many obstacles preventing potential irrigation projects. When we hear “can’t,” we will find another solution.

 Below is a list of considerations:

Utilizing the EGLE water withdrawal assessment tool

  • Availability and permission to access an adequate water supply

  • Options to provide power to operate water pumps and equipment

A few bridges make a ½  turn into a ¾ turn adding 50% more acres.

  • Mitigate topographical limitations and other obstacles

  • Project and evaluate gains in crop yield and quality

Adding a bender to water additional acres

  • Strategically select equipment options to cover odd shaped fields and maximize acres covered

  • Calculate ROI on projects to measure financial feasibility

While all farms and situations vary, taking time to plan, evaluate and project results are part of our DNA and supported by the combined 450 years of irrigation experience of our staff.
