Climbing on board and join us for this virtual climate bus tour. In this episode, we find out water reticulation systems are helping farmers prepare their business’ to deal with an increasingly variable climate.
First stop is to visit Agriculture Victoria’s Greg Bekker who first installed a water reticulation system in 1984.
We then visit Dr Grant Connelly, who with his wife Kerry have installed a water reticulation system on their central Victorian property.
