  • How Pivot Automation Transforms Farming
    Jul 17 2025

    Join us for an inside look at how modern pivot automation is revolutionizing agriculture.


    Tanner Holt is a third-generation farmer from southern Utah who knows firsthand the challenges of managing large-scale irrigation across a busy operation. With decades-old pivots and a fast-paced farm to run, Tanner turned to B-hyve Pivot Controllers to streamline his work, and the results have been transformative. In this session, Tanner shares real-world insights on how pivot automation helped his family farm.


    What You’ll Learn in this Webinar:


    How to save water without sacrificing yield
    Discover how Tanner and his team use pivot control to respond to changing weather in real-time—turning pivots off when conditions are poor and restarting them remotely when it matters most.


    How to reduce labor and reclaim your time
    Before automation, it took hours and multiple team members to check pivots, troubleshoot issues, and adjust irrigation. Now, it’s done in minutes from a phone—freeing up time for higher-value work on the farm.


    How to improve operational efficiency and lower costs
    Tanner will walk you through how B-hyve controllers integrate with new and old pivot brands alike, centralize control, simplify employee training, and deliver powerful data insights for smarter farming decisions.


    How to manage pivots from anywhere, anytime
    Learn how to control even 45-year-old pivots from a smartphone—and why flexibility and responsiveness have become a game-changer for day-to-day operations.


    How to use real-time data and history logs to optimize irrigation
    Whether you’re managing a few pivots or dozens, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. See how one farm embraced innovation to become more sustainable, more productive, and more profitable, without replacing its existing infrastructure.
