Leaf connects to irrigation providers (Lindsay FieldNET and Valley) to pull equipment data, as-applied irrigation activities, and field-level irrigation summaries into a single API.
Data types
Irrigation equipment
Equipment records represent physical irrigation infrastructure: pivots, lateral moves, and sensors. Each equipment record belongs to a Leaf user and includes the equipment’s location and type.
As-applied irrigation
As-applied irrigation data represents the actual irrigation events reported by the equipment. Each record is summarized by day and split by depth, showing the amount of water applied across a multipolygon geometry.
Irrigated field
Irrigated field records show how an irrigation event intersects with a specific field boundary. The irrigation geometries are clipped to the field boundary, so you see only the portion of irrigation that falls within the field. Different water depths across zones or angles are represented as separate multipolygon geometries within the record.

Configuration
The irrigationProcessingRange configuration controls how far back Leaf fetches irrigation data from providers. Default is 12 months. See Configuration for details.
Alerts
Two irrigation-specific events are available:
newIrrigationActivity fires when new as-applied data arrives from a provider.newFieldIrrigationActivity fires when irrigation data is matched to a field boundary.
See Alert Events for payload schemas.
