The irrigation industry came together in a big way this July to celebrate Smart Irrigation Month, making this year’s campaign one of the most successful yet. Engagement was strong across the board, from social media shares to industry events, with many showing their pride by wearing blue on Wear Blue Wednesday.

Thanks to these collective efforts, nine cities and states issued official proclamations recognizing Smart Irrigation Month, amplifying our message about the importance of efficient irrigation practices.

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who participated and helped make this campaign a success. Your enthusiasm shows the power of our industry when we work together. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue promoting smart irrigation year-round.
