How 360 RAIN is Revolutionizing In-Season Irrigation and Manure Application for Ohio's Corn and Soybean Farmers

360 RAIN by 360 Yield Center is a game-changing adaptive irrigation solution tailored for Ohio's corn and soybean growers—especially those managing manure from dairy or swine operations. Precision Agri-Services Inc. brings this tech directly to farmers looking to boost yields, improve nutrient efficiency, and cut down on compaction, runoff, and odor. Whether your field is square, crooked, or shaped like a jigsaw puzzle, 360 RAIN adapts to your needs—all while putting water, manure, and nutrients exactly where and when your crops need them.

Key Takeaways

• 360 RAIN irrigates any field shape and avoids obstacles using RTK-guided pathing.

• Manure can now be applied in season, reducing fall workload and maximizing nutrient use.

• Banding irrigation at the root zone doubles efficiency vs. broadcast or pivot systems.

• Smarter use of digestate and organic inputs = healthier soil and happier margins.

• Remote monitoring and real-time data mean more control, less guesswork.

Introduction

Let’s face it: farming’s not getting any easier. Between unpredictable rainfalls, tighter margins, and the ever-present challenge of nutrient management, today’s corn and soybean growers need solutions that work with them—not just for them. That’s where Precision Agri-Services Inc. and 360 RAIN come in.

This isn’t your grandpa’s irrigation system. This is a smarter, more flexible, and downright brilliant way to deliver water, manure, and nutrients in-season, with precision and care. Think of it as spoon-feeding your crops exactly what they need, when they need it—no waste, no fuss.

What is 360 RAIN?

360 RAIN is an adaptive irrigation and nutrient delivery system developed by 360 Yield Center. Unlike rigid center pivot systems, 360 RAIN is guided by your planter’s path, navigates around obstacles, and lays water and nutrients directly at the root zone. It can cover up to 200 acres using a 3,000-foot hose and features smart RTK and cellular controls for exact pathing.

From silage to soybeans and everything in between, 360 RAIN was built to flex.

Why Moisture Matters—Especially in Ohio

Let’s talk dirt. Or more accurately, the moisture in it. Corn and soybeans crave consistent hydration, but Ohio’s weather can be moody. One minute it’s monsoon season, the next it’s a dust bowl. Traditional pivot irrigation often isn’t an option—too many trees, ditches, and utility poles in the way.

Enter 360 RAIN. It’s designed for Ohio’s irregular field shapes and works perfectly even in the presence of obstacles. Bonus: by laying water in a concentrated 15" band over the root zone, you’re getting 2x the moisture efficiency compared to broadcast watering.

Irrigation for Odd-Shaped Fields and Tricky Terrain

You know the struggle: your field looks like it was drawn by a toddler, full of curves, corners, and the occasional windmill. Traditional pivot systems give up halfway through.

But 360 RAIN doesn’t care if your field has attitude. It uses smart pathing to navigate anything from wind turbines to transmission poles and building lots. Want to irrigate that odd corner that’s always thirsty? Done. Need to skip a riser tile or two? Easy.

Precision Manure Application for Dairy and Swine Farmers

If you’ve got pits and lagoons full of manure, 360 RAIN gives you a smart way to get rid of it—without waiting for fall or calling in a fleet of tankers.

The 360 Injection Skid lets you mix, meter, and apply manure directly into the irrigation line. Apply up to 10% solids (as long as it’s screened) and put that organic gold to work while crops are actively growing.

The result? Reduced storage needs, fewer compaction worries, and nutrients delivered right when the plant needs them. And the smell? Way better.

Smarter Nutrient Delivery and Root-Zone Targeting

The real genius of 360 RAIN is how it delivers everything right to the base of the plant. Whether you’re applying water, nitrogen, manure, or even digestate, banding it directly over the root zone means faster uptake, less runoff, and fewer wasted inputs.

Want to push your ROI? You’ll love the variable rate control and app-based management system that lets you tweak flow rates, monitor system performance, and even receive maintenance alerts—all from your iPhone or iPad.

Digestate and Specialty Crops—Next-Level Sustainability

For farms running digesters or producing organic crops, 360 RAIN opens up even more doors. Apply digestate in multiple micro-doses throughout the season to build organic matter, reduce synthetic inputs, and keep nitrates out of waterways.

Plus, specialty crops like organic corn or seed grains benefit massively from spoon-fed nutrients that improve yield without triggering nutrient burn. Farmers in Iowa are already reporting 30–45 bushel gains when using water + manure compared to rainfall alone.

Real Results: Yield Boosts and Bottom Line Benefits

Still wondering if it’s worth it? Consider this:

• In Versailles, Ohio, silage yields jumped +4 to +5 tons/acre using 360 RAIN with dairy manure.

• Corn yields improved +18 to +52 bu/ac in side-by-side comparisons with pivot and rainfall.

• Growers reported $410/acre revenue boosts, factoring in reduced nitrogen costs and eliminated custom application fees.

If it sounds like a no-brainer, that’s because it kind of is.
