Workshops to support irrigators and designers

6 June 2024

Agriculture Victoria is encouraging irrigation farmers to register for two upcoming irrigation workshops at Kerang and Numurkah.

These workshops are specifically for farmers involved with designing and installing new Centre Pivot or Lateral Move (CPLM) systems or aiming to optimise the performance and management of an existing system.

Agriculture Victoria Irrigation Extension Officer Nick O'Halloran said the workshops would cover design considerations to improve efficiency, financial decisions for purchasing and operating a CPLM, critical performance indicators, and much more.

‘These free workshops offer invaluable insights and practical strategies and will be facilitated by Peter Smith from Sapphire Irrigation Consulting,’ Mr O'Halloran said.

'Peter has a sound background in irrigation systems and management and delivers training courses nationally. He is strongly committed to building skills for a resilient irrigation sector.'

Location and session times are as follows:
