The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Valley Irrigation the technology products are tied to Valley irrigation hardware such as center pivots and ICON control panels rather than sold as standalone software; Ag-Analytics the vendor's homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 16 June 2019 offered the Profit Layers tool as a 30 day free trial then a monthly subscription billed at $0.01 per acre; this capture is over five years old and should be treated as historical, not current pricing
  • They diverge on capability: Valley Irrigation covers Remote monitoring, Ag-Analytics covers Yield prediction.
