Case Study: Double J Farms improves walnut uniformity with Ceres Imaging

Double J Farms improves walnut uniformity by 15% with Ceres Imaging

Double J Farms, a walnut grower in Sutter County, California, faced a challenge with crop uniformity due to varying soil conditions on their property. Owner Jeff Dyer knew that sandy areas were causing some trees to be less productive, but efforts to apply more water inadvertently led to overwatering other parts of the orchard. Double J Farms turned to Ceres Imaging for a more precise solution to their irrigation management problem.

Ceres Imaging provided aerial imagery and water stress data that allowed Double J Farms to pinpoint exactly which trees needed more water. By using these insights to strategically adjust emitter sizes in specific areas, Jeff Dyer was able to address the water stress effectively. The vendor's solution led to an estimated 15% improvement in uniformity, bringing the struggling trees back to normal production levels and contributing to a more profitable and healthy walnut crop.
