RESEARCH & IRRIGATION Uniform line pressure made easy.


companies are curious of the results of this study because they want to know where they fit in the industry. However, they don’t want to share the data that lets us do that for various reasons. It would be nice to have a little more precision and accuracy.

“We need to find a way to get data from the privately held companies in a way that maintains their anonymity. I think all the companies are curious of the results of this study because they want to know where they fit in the industry.”


How can ag professionals help build a better picture of the industry’s impact?


Compared to the non-ag side, we had a lot more ag data as there’s just a lot more people on the ag side than there are on the landscaping side. When you hear irrigation, you think crops. You don’t automatically think landscaping, at least in this part of the country. We got great participation from them.


I think my problem is I didn’t use them enough on the study, because it became so apparent that we were ignoring a good chunk of the industry by not bringing more non-ag people into it. I was scrambling to bring non-ag stuff into it, thinking that if the industry has a value of $9 billion and $6 billion is being accounted for by the non-ag side, I’d better pay a lot of attention to those guys.
