One of the great benefits of proper water management is saving water. The onus to prove it lies mostly with the farmer, so farmers approached Kennedy Irrigation for a solution. After a thorough investigation a decision was reached to use the Mc Propeller flow meter from Mc Crometer. Mc Crometer was established in America by a group of farmers some 50 years ago. They could not find a flow meter that met their needs and thus started a company that specialized in flow metering. Mc Crometer was born and has grown to a company that provides worldwide flow meter solutions.
