Flow and Grow: Understanding Farm Irrigation

Join Brooke and Clint Theodore of Alvie on Wednesday 26 March, as we explore their irrigation system and how they manage irrigation.

Daniel Zappelli of Windmill and Irrigation Pty Ltd will be a key speaker at the field day, sharing his expertise in farm irrigation and water management.

Windmill and Irrigation is a family-run business that has been serving the Colac region since 1986, providing sales, installation, and servicing of on-farm and domestic water infrastructure. Daniel has worked with the company for over a decade, completing his apprenticeship there and gaining extensive training in irrigation systems, pump servicing, and water solutions.

At the field day, Daniel will provide practical advice on irrigation efficiency, system maintenance, and selecting the right infrastructure for different farm setups. Specializing in pivot irrigation, reticulation, and water storage solutions, he will also discuss the latest technology and innovations available through leading brands such as Valley, Bauer Trailco, Iplex, Philmac, and Caprari.

In addition to new installations, Windmill and Irrigation services line shaft turbine pumps, submersible electric pumps, and windmills. With their crane trucks, they regularly repair and maintain irrigation equipment, ensuring farms have a reliable water supply year-round.

This is a great opportunity to learn from Brooke, Clint, and Daniels experience and gain practical tips for managing irrigation systems.

This Field Day is hosted by the WestVic Dairy Young Dairy Network.
