FRESNO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2024 /CNW/ - While farmers can't control the weather, they can transform one of farming's most labor-intensive elements—irrigation—into a precise, data-driven operation. Unlike conventional systems, smart irrigation leverages advanced technology to optimize water usage, resulting in sustainable practices with healthier crops and a higher return on investment (ROI).

Almanac has partnered with WiseConn to integrate their irrigation management solutions into its broader agricultural technology platform. As part of its brand evolution, Semios is now a product and service line under the new Almanac brand. Semios products, already well-known and trusted in the industry, will continue to play a pivotal role in this partnership. WiseConn's DropControl system enables growers to irrigate with precision, control water usage, and achieve higher yields at lower costs. Through the SemiosConnect™ WiseConn integration, users can publish irrigation schedules directly from the Semios product suite within the Almanac platform, with AI-enabled automatic execution in the field by the DropControl system, making irrigation and fertigation control easier and data driven.

With this partnership, Almanac is now a leading WiseConn equipment distributor, offering excellent service and support to new and existing customers. The Almanac Digital Field Solutions team is composed of certified technicians who are fully trained to install and manage WiseConn systems, ensuring seamless operation and maximum value for farmers. Known for their precision, innovation, and hands-on support, the Digital Field Solutions team plays a crucial role in bringing together the advanced technology of WiseConn and Almanac's data-driven platform to create optimal farming solutions across Almanac product suites including Semios, Agworld and more. By strengthening collaboration between companies, strategic roadmap alignment will drive the accelerated evolution of products and services to address customer challenges and consistently exceed expectations.

"This enhanced partnership brings together WiseConn's industry-leading hardware for monitoring and control —including irrigation and fertilizer pumps, filter flushing and valves, weather stations, soil moisture probes, dendrometers, water quality and distribution uniformity sensors—with Almanac's AI-powered farm data analytics and Digital Field Services," said Sumer Johal, CEO of Almanac. "Together, we'll deliver seamless installation, unmatched reliability, and exceptional "boots-on-the-ground" support to farmers worldwide."

Guillermo Valenzuela, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for WiseConn, said, "This partnership translates into the only "one stop shop" for permanent crops in the market. WiseConn enables farmers to gain complete control of their water management— automating irrigation and fertigation, now providing the best-in-class water management insights with the help of Almanac's data analytics. These tools not only promote sustainability but also reduce costs for the farmer, which is a winning combination in today's competitive agricultural landscape."

Almanac certified technicians are fully trained to install and manage WiseConn systems, and the WiseConn operations team is ready to support Almanac at every stage of the process, ensuring seamless operation and maximum value for farmers utilizing both companies' solutions.

A UN report says it could take 350 years for Gaza to rebuild if it remains under a blockade
U.N. agencies have long warned that it could take decades to rebuild Gaza after Israel's offensive against Hamas, one of the deadliest and most destructive military campaigns since World War II. The U.N. Conference on Trade and Development said in a report released Monday that if the war ends tomorrow and Gaza returns to the status quo before Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, it could take 350 years for its battered economy to return to its precarious prewar level. Before the war, Gaza was under an Israeli and Egyptian blockade imposed after Hamas seized power in 2007.
