Smarter Irrigation know-how, taking out the guess work
03 January 2023
With close to 60% of all dairy farms in Australia using some form of irrigation on their land, it is important to continually find more ways to use and manage water resources.
In this Dairypod episode Dairy Australia’s National Soils and Irrigation Lead Cath Lescun, discusses with Climate Adaptation Lead Cathy Ashby, some of the current challenges facing farmers when it comes to effective irrigation and delves into the Smarter Irrigation for Profit (or SIP) research project and the resulting outcomes.
The conversation also outlines a range of recommendations resulting from the SIP program - the result of a six year study across seven dairy regions of Australia.
