Manitoba grower shares experience with remote irrigation monitoring system

摘要

Brent Metcalfe is a young progressive potato grower in the Treherne area of south-central Manitoba, located northwest of Winnipeg. In 2008, Metcalfe, along with his cousin Barry Watson, installed a new remote irrigation monitoring system on the pair's 1,000-acre operation, WM Ventures. Metcalfe recently shared his experiences using the system with fellow potato growers during the province's annual potato production seminars held at the Keystone Centre in Brandon, Man.
