Overview
Tree lines and buildings can get in the way of your irrigation operation, keeping valuable acres out of production. To help you overcome these challenges, Valley® offers our Bender product line for center pivots. Valley Benders are easily, and inexpensively, added to your existing or new center pivot irrigation systems to put those acres into production – ultimately helping you increase your yields and profitability.
