FarmConnect review
Remote gate control, sensor-informed scheduling and water tracking for surface irrigation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
FarmConnect brings crop and irrigation monitoring, field-sensor data and remote device control into a cloud platform for farmers and irrigators. It is aimed at operations using surface-irrigation gates and actuators or high-flow valves, with web access and a mobile app for field operations and device monitoring. Soil-monitoring data can inform irrigation timing and application, while weather stations and other supported field devices contribute to the monitoring setup.
Scheduling is a central strength: programs can be time-based or event-based, including triggers tied to water levels or flow rates. Operators can remotely control compatible gates and valves, then track water applied both per irrigation and across a season. That combination suits farms that need to coordinate canal infrastructure and monitor water use, rather than buyers seeking a general-purpose farm management suite. FarmConnect can also interface with third-party on-farm IoT devices through the AgPod, making device compatibility an important consideration when evaluating fit.
The product is cloud-based with web and iOS access, and Rubicon Water lists phone, email and documentation support channels. Pricing follows a contact-sales model, so buyers should expect to discuss their operation and equipment with the vendor rather than select a published self-serve plan. FarmConnect is a stronger fit for small, mid-market and enterprise operations where surface-irrigation control and sensor-informed programs are priorities. Farms using other irrigation approaches, or buyers who need a clearly specified integration ecosystem before evaluation, may prefer to compare alternatives first.
FarmConnect pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Operates compatible canal gates and high-flow valves remotely
- Builds time- or event-based programs triggered by water levels or flow
- Tracks water applied per irrigation and per season
- Where it doesn't
- Focused on surface irrigation systems and compatible devices
- Pricing requires contacting the vendor
- Third-party IoT interfaces run through the AgPod
