Sugar Cane Irrigation
Increase Your Profits
Maximize Sugar Cane Profits
with Better Resource Management
You’ll See It
on the Bottom Line!
Sugar Cane Growers Worldwide
Depend on Valley® Irrigation
for Many Reasons
Reliability—Valley offers a network of dealers worldwide
and has a reputation built on rugged, durable equipment.
Labor Savings—Valley irrigation makes water
management easy. 15-25 Valley pivots can be operated
and managed by one technician.
Cost Effectiveness—Valley pivots and linears offer a
lower installed equipment cost per hectare/acre than
other comparable forms of irrigation. Once installed,
Valley pivots and linears have a low operating cost.
Dependability—Valley pivots and linears do the work
when you need it done…any time, day or night. Valley
equipment handles all terrain, from heavy clay to light
sandy soil.
Designed & Engineered
With Sugar Cane Growers in Mind
Crop Clearance—Valley pivots and linears are
designed with two high-clearance options. Sugar cane
growers may choose from clearances of 3.75 m (12.3 ft)
and 4.6 m (15 ft). These two options allow the grower to
obtain adequate clearance for growing sugar cane.
Heavy-duty Construction—Valley pivots and linears
are designed and engineered to handle the dense and
wet growth of sugar cane fields.
Adaptability—Valley pivots and linears can be designed
to operate efficiently on fields of varying sizes and
terrain.
Precision Application—Valley pivots and linears apply
the exact amount of water needed, when it is needed,
and where it is needed.
When It’s Time to Irrigate
— It’s Time for Valley !

Advantages of Valley Pivots
and Linears
Efficient Water Usage—Minimizes waste
and evaporation through timely and precise
applications.
Uniform Coverage—Irrigates uniformly
throughout the entire field.
Low Pressure Delivery—Saves on the cost
of energy and enhances profit. Pivot and linear
equipment require water pressure similar to
drip irrigation.
Chemigation Option—Protects both natural
resources and the crop. Applies chemicals and
fertilizers inexpensively, accurately and at any
stage of the crop growth.

Common Problems

The Value of Valley
®
Installed Cost
Per Hectare*
Valley Pivot or Linear
$900-$1,500
Drip Irrigation
$1,700-$3,000
Overhead Sprinkler
$1,700-$3,000
Big Gun**
$900-$2,100
** Installed costs based on minimum field size of 40 hectares. Cost ranges do not
include a pump. Cost ranges are in United States Dollars. See your local dealer for
more specific prices for each of these irrigation products. 1 hectare is equivalent to
2.47 acres.
** Installed cost range based on equipment utilizing buried pressurized lines. The annual
energy cost to operate a big gun is 2-3 times more than a pivot or linear. Big guns
require 20-60 more hours of labor per hectare/year than a center pivot or linear.
