Are you an irrigator? Is your irrigation system performing at its full potential?
Join us for the AgVic Talk podcast as we chat with Agriculture Victoria’s Irrigation Extension Officer Nick O'Halloran about the benefits of getting an on-farm irrigation assessment for centre pivot and lateral move irrigation systems. The on-farm irrigation assessment program is available to northern Victorian irrigators to help them use their irrigation water more efficiently, improve crop yields, increase energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.
The Agriculture Victoria irrigation services team is currently offering system checks on centre pivot and lateral move (CPLM) irrigation systems in northern Victoria under the Sustainable Irrigation Program in partnership with DELWP and Goulburn Broken and North Central catchment management authorities.
If you are interested in participating in the assessment program or would like to discuss the proposed design of your planned irrigation system, contact Nick O’Halloran on 0438 321 528 for the Goulburn Broken region, Tim Robinson on 0448 587 583 in the North Central region or email irrigation@agriculture.vic.gov.au
