here's not much prettier than a beautiful, green field being
watered, the summer sun hitting the spray and making
a rainbow that follows you as you drive past. But there's
a lot more to getting a good crop than just pumping water on
your field with whatever equipment is cheapest and most readily
available. Our buyers' guide features some of the most innovative
irrigation equipment on the market, custom-made for your
farm's success.

Dragon-Line Drip Irrigation
Adapted from the same concept as mobile drip irrigation,
Dragon-Line is transforming pivot irrigation through drip
technology. Dragon-Line patented technology combines the
efficiency of surface drip irrigation, with the flexibility and
economics of mechanized irrigation systems.
Dragon-Line is orange drip line tubing co-extruded from a blend
of high-quality PE resin. The pressure-compensating emitters
are continuous self-flushing, welded to the internal wall of
the drip line, and fully operation at 7 PSI. Dragon-Line emitter
tubing is attached to Dragon Flex hose, which drags completely
on the soil surface, thus the name "Dragon-Line." As Dragon-
Line is pulled behind the system, the emitters deliver a uniform
water pattern across the full length of the irrigated area. This
process significantly reduces evaporation and soil compaction
and eliminates wind drift.
