NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. – Local startup Smart Farm Systems and John Deere Greenway Equipment have signed an agreement to provide an advanced precision irrigation monitoring and control system to flood and furrow irrigation farmers. These systems will be sold at the Greenway Equipment Ag Centers located throughout the state of Arkansas and Southeast Missouri.
