Gippsland Dairy Farmers: Turning Data into Better Irrigation Decisions

EVENT DESCRIPTION

9 am to 12:30 pm

Join us for a practical, hands-on workshop designed specifically for Gippsland dairy farmers. This session builds on the 2025 soil and pasture fundamentals workshop and takes the next step of a deep dive into real farm data.  However, if you didn't attend that workshop, no problem, we'll catch you up.

We will work with local farmer data from the growing season, layer it over irrigation strategies, and compare it to pasture and crop performance.

You will leave with practical tools to:

• Use your own farm data with confidence
• Set irrigation triggers and decision points
• Benchmark paddocks and seasons
• Improve water use efficiency
• Strengthen pasture performance

Ideal for dairy farmers and advisers wanting clearer, evidence-based decisions on irrigation and pasture management.

This event is supported by Agriculture Victoria’s Drought Support Package.
