GoField®
The world’s most intelligent and accurate irrigation scheduling solution.
GoField is a comprehensive approach to managing irrigation scheduling, integrating in-field sensors, local weather data, crop growth stage and satellite imagery and then applies deeply researched analytics to identify the optimum time for irrigation. Not only do we monitor and manage this in real-time, but GoField provides an accurate 7-day forecast allowing our clients to proactively manage their water resources like never before.
GoField delivers powerful yet easy-to-understand insights so you can irrigate at just the right time. And the best bit? It can now be done more cost effectively than ever before with no lock-in contract and no hardware capital costs to you.

Benefits You Can Expect
Grow 10% more crop
By taking a science-based approach, we are consistently helping growers grow more crop. Whether as a result of reducing stress induced yield loss or growing more hectares/acres from the same amount of water, we can help you grow more. Independent research confirms up to 10% more crop.
Save 10% water
GoField delivers precise irrigation scheduling based on soil, plant and weather conditions, which means we can often reduce the number of in-season irrigations. Our experience, backed by independent analysis, confirms an average water saving of >10%.
Make more profit
When you combine the impact of more cotton from less water, it stands to reason that more profit is the outcome - but there’s more to it than just that. Smarter scheduling leads to less energy costs and better workforce efficiency. When fully implemented, we consistently deliver a return on investment of 10x.
How GoField works
GoField is an advanced irrigation scheduling solution designed to transform crop cultivation. In contrast to existing solutions, such as evapotranspiration rates (ETc) forecasting and soil moisture probes, GoField goes above and beyond. It integrates these features and expands upon them to provide the most comprehensive solution available in today's market.
It begins by compiling an extensive and field-specific dataset, tailored to your agricultural needs. This dataset serves as the foundation for understanding the dynamic conditions of your soil and the performance of your crops. GoField then combines two critical sources of information: soil moisture probes and canopy temperature sensors. By integrating these insights, it offers a holistic perspective on crop conditions and the moisture content within the soil. This multifaceted approach is further enhanced through advanced modeling and analytics, which deliver key insights into ETc, crop growth stages, and growing degree calculations. All this information is then converted into an easy to understand seven day irrigation calendar that offers invaluable insights for precise irrigation scheduling.
In essence, GoField is not just a tool for monitoring and data collection; it's a powerful decision-making aid that empowers farmers with the knowledge they need to transform their crop cultivation strategies, ultimately leading to more efficient and successful agricultural practices.
This is how your field data is displayed in our app. These easy to interpret graphs provide you with crucial information to help you make informed data-based decisions about your irrigation scheduling.

“Profitable and sustainable cotton production is largely driven by my ability as a grower to enhance the way I manage my irrigation.
As a long term client of Goanna Ag, we rely on their information and insights to make critical irrigation decisions throughout the season.
They have proven themselves over many years and have become a trusted partner in our cotton growing operation.”

Independently Verified
We know that there are all sorts of claims about the benefits of new technologies and sometimes the results don’t match the hype. That’s why we rely on independent research and assessment to validate our claims.
As part of the Smarter Irrigation for Profit Phase 1 (SIP1), the CSIRO conducted on-farm trials of GoField technology in different cotton growing valleys in Australia. The overarching philosophy was to provide farmers the opportunity to use an irrigation scheduling tool that is based on real-time monitoring of a crop’s stress levels and need for water.
The overall findings were:
By supporting more accurate monitoring of a crop’s stress levels and need for water, GoField can increase cotton yields while reducing workforce and water costs; and
Incorporating GoField into irrigation management has the potential to generate an additional $152 per hectare (2.5 acres) per season without considering benefit of redeployed water.
RTI International
North Carolina based global research group, RTI International, recently published “Prospective Analysis of WaterWise” (Petrusa et al, 2021) assessing the technology in our solution and concluded that the positive impact to growers through a combination of increased production and reduced expenses is in the vicinity of 12% WUE increase and 14% Gross Profit uplift.
Meanwhile, Cotton Inc, have set an industry goal for US cotton to reduce water use by 18% over the next 10 years, and much of that saving will be achieved by increasing the uptake of data backed irrigation scheduling.
In fact, referencing the research report “Sustainability trends and natural resource use in US cotton production” (Daystar, Barnes, Hake & Kurtz, 2017), they report that growers using sensor based irrigation achieve 100lbs per acre (18kg/hectare) yield increase compared to those not using sensors.
Both these papers quantify the value of our approach and demonstrate return on investment well in excess of 10x.
