360 RAIN™ from 360 Yield Center, delivers bands of water directly to the base of the plant, providing advantages over traditional irrigation methods.

With a 60-foot boom, 360 RAIN applies water through Y-DROP style hoses. Up to 2,900 feet of 3-inch diameter hose is dispensed by a computer-controlled reel. The machine moves up and down the crop rows as the well-tethered reel dispenses and retrieves hose. At 0.45 mph, 360 RAIN can apply over 2,000,000 gallons of water per week - the equivalent of one inch of rain over an 80-acre field from a well producing just 215 gallons per minute. And then start again. And again. Providing the three or four inches of critical moisture that activates soil microbes, enhances grain fill and allows plants to thrive.

A NEW CONCEPT WITH PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

360 RAIN is a three wheeled vehicle and uses field-proven components from the irrigation industry. Guidance is provided through RTK and communication through a cellular network that provides the control, coverage and rate instructions.

STRONG CROP RESPONSE

Two years of test data show a strong yield response to a timely dose of low volumes of water and nutrients. In 2020 replicated side-by-side trials, test strips that received just 4.5 inches of water from 360 RAIN through the growing season generated an additional 65 bushels per acre - a 32% improvement over non-irrigated strips.

A COMPLETELY NEW WAY TO NURTURE YOUR CROP

DELIVERING WATER, NUTRIENTS, FUNGICIDES AND MORE - DAY AND NIGHT

KEY FEATURES

• Lower water demands - operating on wells or reservoirs with 75% less flow capacity of traditional pivot-systems.
• Efficient delivery of nutrients such as nitrogen, sulfur, boron and other micronutrients.
• Ability to work in irregular shaped fields where center pivots are not practical.
• Variable rate nitrogen, water and micronutrients.
• Seven-foot clearance under the frame. 10' under booms.
