Aguafox was built with one goal: give soybean farmers a single, reliable place to find clear, practical information about smart irrigation — without having to dig through dozens of sources to piece together an answer.
Who’s Behind This Site
Aguafox was founded by Chris Andrews, an engineer of more than 25 years experience, coming from a family involved in agricultural equipment for 3 generations. That combination — technical precision and an understanding of how agriculture works at ground level — shapes everything you’ll find here.
With family still active in the agricultural equipment supply industry today, the connection to what growers need day-to-day has never been purely academic. When the research for this site began, the same problem kept surfacing: irrigation information for soybean farmers was scattered, inconsistent, or written for the wrong audience. Aguafox was built to fix that.
What Aguafox Is
Founded in 2024, Aguafox is an independent information resource focused entirely on smart irrigation for commercial soybean farming in the USA. Every article, guide, and tool on this site is written with the US soybean grower in mind — the commercial operator making real decisions about water management, equipment investment, and field efficiency.
That said, sound irrigation data doesn’t stop at a border. If you’re growing soybeans elsewhere in the world and find the research, techniques, or technology comparisons here useful, you’re welcome here too.
What You’ll Find Here
Aguafox covers the full range of smart irrigation topics relevant to soybean production — from soil moisture sensors and center pivot systems to remote monitoring, precision scheduling, and field robotics. Content is grounded in university extension research, USDA data, and verified manufacturer specifications. No fluff, no guesswork.
Beyond the articles, the site includes practical tools built specifically for farmers working through purchase and management decisions:
- State-by-state irrigation dealership finder — identify which commercial irrigation suppliers stock which brands, from Reinke and Valley to Zimmatic and more, filtered by your state
- Interactive calculators — run the numbers on key metrics like center pivot distribution uniformity before yield-limiting variability costs you bushels
Whether you’re evaluating a new center pivot controller, comparing soil sensor brands, or trying to understand EQIP cost-share options, Aguafox aims to be the first place you look — and the place that gives you a straight answer.
Why Soybean Farmers Trust Aguafox’s Smart Irrigation Info
In mid-2025 we realised readers don’t just want info to read, they want info backed up by verified sources. You can be assured that from that point we have made sure that our articles have factual claims cited. If a statistic can’t be traced to a credible source — a university extension publication, a USDA report, or a verified manufacturer document — it doesn’t appear. Farmers make expensive, long-term decisions based on the information they read, and getting it right matters.
If you spot something that needs correcting or updating, please let us know. This site is built to be useful, and that means keeping it accurate.
