DCB Farming saves $172,000 on irrigation with Ceres Imaging

DCB Farming, a tomato grower in California, faced a challenge optimizing irrigation across 4,000 acres with a small team. They needed to quickly identify and resolve water stress issues in their temperamental crop to ensure both high yield and quality. To address this, they turned to the aerial imagery and Water Stress Index analysis service from Ceres Imaging.

Using Ceres Imaging's weekly flights and detailed imagery, DCB Farming was able to pinpoint a major design flaw in a new irrigation system. This allowed them to collect $172,000 from the irrigation company for redress. Beyond this major savings, Ceres Imaging provided the insights necessary for DCB Farming to fine-tune water dispersal, improving overall crop quality and uniformity while making their small team significantly more efficient.
