Lindsay's FieldNET Earns Best Product Engineering Award

August 02, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Omaha, Neb. - Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN) has received a 2007 AE50 Award from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) for innovation in engineering products that save growers time and money. FieldNET, the irrigation industry’s first completely web-based, real-time irrigation management system, earned the accolade in the annual awards.

FieldNET, a breakthrough in irrigation management, allows growers one more way to save time and money by not having to drive out and check on pivots day and night. Real-time text message alerts let producers know when the status of a pivot changes. Or, they can check in on the user-friendly web portal – FieldNET with MapView – to give them a quick view of pivot location, pivot status and water usage. Accessing the portal from the Internet or by phone enables growers to monitor and manage any pivot, anywhere, anytime – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“We’re honored to be recognized for our efforts to improve farm productivity,” said Dirk Lenie, vice president of marketing for Lindsay. “Our engineers and product managers take pride in developing the best solutions for growers across the country and the world.”

This is the third AE50 product award that Lindsay has received in the past two years. In 2006, FieldSENTRY™ Wireless Irrigation Network and the FieldLINK Pump Control won AE50 Awards for Lindsay. The AE50 Awards are presented to companies that offer the most innovative products engineered for agricultural, food, biological and related systems.
