Company
Headquartered in Walla Walla, Washington, we plan, design, develop, manufacture and sell proprietary products for the agricultural irrigation equipment market. We are focused on doing things that improve the state of the art of agricultural irrigation-saving water, saving energy and doing a better job of irrigating. We believe that irrigated agriculture is absolutely essential to sustaining and improving the standard of living of a growing world population. As we move into the 21st century, water will be the most precious element on the face of the earth. We will have to produce more food and fiber on less land with less water.
