Installation of Soil Moisture Sensors

The SDI-12 Hydra Probe II soil moisture sensors have been installed in Burkland Farms, Grand Forks County on November 9, 2015. The sensing system measures soil moisture, electrical conductivity and temperature at surface (0-5 inches) and below at seven depths (5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 inches). The CR1000 datalogger of Campbell Scientific, Inc. with a 12V battery and a 20W solar panel reads signals and stores data.
