Weather conditions can have a big impact on how effectively irrigation water reaches your crop.

Wind: Strong winds can move water away from its intended application area, increasing wind drift and creating uneven coverage. This can make it harder to apply water uniformly across the field.

Heat: Hot, dry conditions can increase evaporation from the soil and crop surfaces. That means more water can be lost to the atmosphere before it benefits the crop.

So what can growers do?
Understanding weather conditions and adjusting irrigation practices accordingly can help improve water management. Factors such as irrigation timing, system performance, application uniformity, and soil moisture can all play a role in making the most of every drop.

At Landmark Irrigation, we’re here to help growers understand their irrigation systems and find solutions that support efficient, effective water management.

Trical Group's design teams work with our outside sales staff and the grower to develop efficient and cost-effective irrigation designs that meet the grower's goals and industry uniformity standards. They also will work together to troubleshoot or upgrade existing irrigation systems. Our design team prepares:

• Comprehensive plans and specifications.
• Design details.
• Irrigation scheduling recommendations.
• Material specifications and cost estimates.

Water is a key resource for the development of each crop.

Good irrigation management allows water to be distributed efficiently, maintain adequate humidity conditions and support the uniform growth of plants throughout the field.

Trical Group's experienced sales teams take the time to understand your custom design needs. They offer a wide range of irrigation products to suit any grower need. Because each farm is unique, we must take equally unique approaches to the products we offer. Our product selection has been intensely vetted by industry experts to ensure the highest quality of service and long lasting durability.

Amanda Hernandez | With TriCal Group Since 2016

For Amanda Hernandez, nearly a decade with TriCal Group has been defined by the people, opportunities to grow, and the ability to make a difference.

"What stands out most are the people. Every conversation offers a new perspective or insight, and that collaborative environment makes coming to work incredibly rewarding."

Amanda says she has always felt that her ideas and perspective are valued. When she identified opportunities to strengthen employee training, leadership supported her ideas and gave her the opportunity to help develop new initiatives.

She also remembers the company's response during the uncertainty of 2020, when our CEO spoke directly with employees and emphasized that the health and well-being of employees and their families would always come first.

For Amanda, that people-first approach continues to define TriCal Group today.

Her advice to anyone considering a career with TriCal Group?

"You'll be joining an organization where you're valued as a person, not just an employee. Leadership is accessible, your contributions are recognized, and there's a genuine commitment to supporting employees both professionally and personally."

Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your story and for helping make TriCal Group a place where people can build meaningful careers.
