Sustainability
Every Drop Counts
Sustainable water use means more than irrigation efficiency, it’s about safeguarding our water resources from field to watershed.
Wilbur-Ellis supports growers with practices that reduce runoff and leaching, improve infiltration, and optimize water inputs through sensor-based technology and precise scheduling. These solutions help preserve water quality downstream and reduce the strain on natural systems – all while supporting resilient, productive fields.

Water sustainability strategies
Stop runoff before it starts
Runoff doesn’t just waste water — it can carry nutrients and chemicals into nearby waterways. Our sustainability-focused water programs prioritize infiltration, residue cover, and moisture retention to help protect surrounding ecosystems.
Technology-driven water use
Using tools like soil moisture sensors, satellite imagery, and weather modeling, Wilbur-Ellis helps you schedule irrigation with precision. That means less water used, fewer inputs lost, and more yield per acre-inch.
Protect groundwater and surface water
Leaching of nitrates and other inputs into groundwater is a growing concern. We help mitigate those risks with nutrient stabilizers, split applications, and site-specific recommendations that keep clean water clean.
