Hose Reel Irrigation in Missouri Bootheel
The Bootheel is mostly pivots and furrow irrigation, but there's plenty of ground neither one covers well. We deliver and support OCMIS hose reels across Southeast Missouri.
Where reels earn their keep in Missouri Bootheel
Cotton, soybeans and corn
Reels water the fields cut up by drainage ditches, the odd shapes and the pivot corners.
Rice country edges
Fields next to rice ground that aren't worth leveling or putting a pivot on.
Peanuts and specialty crops
Smaller and rotated fields that need water only some years.
Rented ground
Move the reel when the lease ends.
Water
Shallow, high-volume wells into the Mississippi alluvial aquifer are common here, and they can feed the larger reels. Sandy soils take water fast, while heavy clay ground needs a slower application rate. Ask us about gun and nozzle choice.

Missouri Bootheel hose reel questions
Do you deliver hose reels to the Missouri Bootheel?
Yes. We deliver and set up reels across Southeast Missouri, including Dunklin, Pemiscot, New Madrid and Stoddard counties.
Does a hose reel make sense if I already furrow irrigate?
Often, on fields that can't be leveled, are cut by ditches, or need water before the crop is laid by. A reel puts water where furrow can't reach.
What about heavy clay ground?
A big gun puts water down fast. On tight clay, choose the gun, nozzle and travel speed so the application rate stays below what the soil can take. Our calculator shows the rate under the gun.
