Testimonials > Diogo Tudela
Surface Drip and Pivot Farmer in Brazil
Diogo Tudela, a coffee grower in Brazil, purchased both drip and pivot irrigation systems to compare the efficiencies of both. After working with Valley Center Pivots for over 5 years, he remains extremely satisfied with their performance. After two years with drip, however, he has become tired of the daily problems and does not feel the system is meeting his expectations.

"I just ask where each pivot is
and what section it has irrigated -
it is quite simple" |
"I have different teams that run each irrigation system. For the pivots, I just ask where each pivot is and what section it has irrigated - it is quite simple. But for drip, the first question I ask every day is 'What problems do we have today?' It is a rare and wonderful surprise if I am told that there are no problems. Usually our daily problems range from the weed cutters and laborers damaging the lines, to the groundhogs biting holes into the lines, to the lines being compressed by the soil and the sun. I will not buy another drip system." |
