Managing multiple fields at once is difficult. Every field has multiple soil zones, drainage characteristics, and elevation changes. Fields vary by crop, which each have different water needs, and are geographically separated, receiving different amounts of rain. Factor in peak demand electricity pricing, permit-based water caps, and irrigation turn windows.
Soil moisture probes are expensive so only one is often used per field. Where is it placed? On high ground or low ground? In which soil zone? And what does that single reading say about the rest of the field? Even if installed correctly (often by a farm hand or shop tech), it's still one data point in a large variable landscape.
Thinking through all of these factors is complex enough, but repeating it every 2-3 days for all irrigators becomes impossible. It makes sense that the default decision is to irrigate at a tried and true rate evenly across the field and primarily decide whether to irrigate today or wait until tomorrow.

"Right now I’m watching ET, crop stage, probe trends, and three or four weather forecasts just to decide when to run a pivot. The probe tells me one spot on the field. I want to know the whole field."
"Growers don’t have the tools they need to fine-tune their irrigation system to its full potential. A lot of producers assume their fields are flat and uniform and treat them with a one-size-fits-all approach. But we know that’s not reality. With a couple of my pivots, every half inch of water costs me about $5.50 an acre. Skipping even one pass puts real dollars back in your pocket."
