“John Deere tests solutions to save the countryside from drought in a Parla industrial park”

The economic newspaper Expansión dedicates a space in its Digital Economy section to the project for the optimization of irrigation in agriculture promoted by John Deere from its innovation center located in Parla.   

This center has facilities of 3,500 square meters and more than 4 hectares of arable land. Agrotechnological companies and educational centers collaborate in a joint project aimed at obtaining significant water savings in high-value crops such as almonds, olives, vines and pistachios.
