When it comes to carrot production, Kern County stands unmatched. With over 167,700 acres of carrots, more than 75% of all carrot acreage in California, this region dominates the state’s carrot industry and plays a crucial role in supplying the nation with fresh, nutritious produce.

If you grew up hearing that “farmers feed the world,” here’s the 2025 update: farmers can only feed the world if their water is clean enough to keep the whole system running.

If you’ve been in irrigation long enough, you’ve heard the classic line: “My water source is clean. I don’t need filtration.” And every time someone says it, an emitter somewhere silently screams.

High-demand irrigation systems rely on dependable filtration to protect pumps, pipelines, emitters, and fertigation equipment. The SM-Series3 Epoxy Removable Underdrain Sand Media Filter is engineered specifically for long-term field performance, offering a rugged design, serviceable construction, and the corrosion resistance required for harsh agricultural environments.

As urban farming becomes more popular, homeowners and community growers are planting fruit trees and cultivating crops right in residential neighborhoods.

Avocados have evolved from a niche fruit to a global culinary staple. As demand continues to surge, understanding when and where avocados grow best, and how farmers sustainably manage water has become increasingly important.

When water clarity and system uptime matter, you need filtration that doesn’t slow you down. The Everfilt® STB-Series “TURBO” Screen Filters are built to do exactly that, deliver high-flow, self-cleaning performance with virtually zero downtime.

In a world where water scarcity is an ever-growing challenge, wastewater treatment is no longer just a compliance requirement; it’s a cornerstone of sustainable industry. At its core, wastewater treatment removes contaminants from used water, making it safe for discharge or reuse.

Whether you're growing row crops, tree orchards, vineyards, or specialty plantations, ensuring that irrigation water is free of debris, sand, organic matter, and particulates not only protects your system components but also supports healthier plant growth, better yields, and lower long‐term maintenance costs.

In agriculture, every drop of water counts. Whether you’re running micro-drip lines across acres of crops, managing irrigation for a dairy operation, or maintaining greenhouse systems, water quality directly impacts your productivity and efficiency.

A common challenge in water systems is the presence of sand, silt, and grit. These particles can damage pumps, clog filters, erode valves, and shorten equipment life.

California doesn’t just make great avocados and wine, it basically feeds the country. From almonds to strawberries, the Golden State’s farms thrive in places that barely see rain.

In demanding environments where water quality directly impacts performance and productivity, the Everfilt® SK-SSM-Series Sand Media Filters stand out as a trusted solution for durable, mobile, and efficient filtration.

When it comes to agricultural irrigation, performance, reliability, and longevity matter. The SM-Series4 Sand Media Filters are purpose-built to meet the rigorous demands of growers, irrigation engineers, and farm operations that rely on dependable filtration to protect their water systems.

Not all water is created equal. Industrial plants and farms deal with water packed with chemicals, odors, and other contaminants. That’s where activated carbon comes in; a low-key champion quietly powering clean water.

And so the government shutdown continues, and this time, it’s hitting the irrigation and water sectors hard. If you work in Ag, construction, or utilities, you’ve probably already felt it.

Walk onto any farm, and you’ll see the big investments right away; tractors, pivots, drip systems, greenhouses. But ask a grower what keeps all of it running smoothly, and the answer often comes down to something less glamorous: water quality.

When people hear about a government shutdown, they usually think of closed national parks, furloughed federal workers, or political gridlock in Washington. But one of the less obvious yet critical areas affected is water treatment and infrastructure.

When it comes to agricultural and industrial water filtration, not all filters are created equal. In fact, one of the biggest debates in the filtration world today revolves around carbon steel and stainless steel sand media filters vs. carbon fiber filters.

If you’ve ever been out jogging, chilling at a park, or playing a quick nine holes and spotted a mysterious purple pipe, you probably thought, “Wait…why purple? What’s actually flowing through that thing?”
