OMAHA, Nebraska  – Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN), a leading global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and infrastructure equipment and technology, today announced Reece Andrews, Lindsay’s senior product manager for FieldNET™ and Zimmatic™ Controls, was named Innovator of the Year by the Irrigation Association.

Andrews has spent 24 years as a product manager for Lindsay. He has overseen creation of numerous industry-advancing technologies during his tenure, resulting in solutions that tangibly support growers in improving the health of their crops, while conserving natural resources and driving long-term sustainability.

Most recently, Andrews led the team at Lindsay to create the industry’s first ultra-low cost, universal pivot monitoring solution, FieldNET Pivot Watch™, which won the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineer’s AE50 Award in 2020.

Lindsay’s President of Irrigation, Gustavo Oberto, said, “We are very proud of Reece and this accomplishment. He represents the best of Lindsay by keeping a laser focus on the grower and how technology can be used to simplify the growers’ operation and improve productivity.
