You already know your fields. We give you the instrumentation to monitor what matters, optimize where it counts, and automate the routine — so every decision is grounded in real field data, not a regional average.
The problem we solve
Regional ET estimates and a calendar don't tell you what this block needs today. Woodpecker puts field-specific soil, plant, and weather data under every irrigation and operations decision — and ties it to the valves and meters in the ground — so you save water, lift yields, and keep the records compliance needs, without driving the perimeter to find out what's going on.
What We Deliver
The field-specific data layer underneath every irrigation and operations decision — all of it on one platform, Iris Central.
Single- and multi-depth soil moisture (VWC and matric potential), dendrometers, IR canopy stress sensors, and on-site weather — the data layer your decisions actually sit on.
Refine timing and volume from field-specific soil, plant, and weather signals — to save water, lift yields, and replace regional averages with what your fields actually show. For operations where irrigation is an economic decision, not just a compliance one.
Compliance-grade flow monitoring and automated reporting where GSAs and water districts mandate it — handled in the background, defensible when asked.
Tie monitoring directly to valve and pump control — schedule, trigger, and adjust without driving out to every site.
How It Connects
Most vendors make you adapt to their one wireless technology. Woodpecker designs the network around your operation — using whatever keeps each field, well, and valve reliably connected, even across acreage where cellular coverage is poor.
We adapt the communications to your operation — not the other way around.
Why Growers Choose Woodpecker
What this block needs today — not a regional estimate that misses your soil and microclimate.
Irrigate to need — lower water and energy cost, with yield protected where it counts.
Flowmeter reporting runs in the background and holds up when a GSA or district asks.
Schedule and adjust valves and pumps remotely — automation that saves windshield time.
