Planning ahead for drought

ADVERTORIA­L

-

Simple — nearly all of NZs irrigation equipment is imported from overseas, predominan­tly Italy and other European countries.

Time of manufactur­e, time on the water and time from port to farm gate takes time. Having the assets available at the right time is vitally important. This is what’s called pre-planning.

Ordering early and having the correct equipment ready to go at the start of the season, not panicking mid-way through when your paddocks start to sound like crunchy cornflakes.

You may ponder the reason irrigation companies don’t carry more stock? Your local tractor dealer does. Again simple, get it right in the preplannin­g. Order what you need, not purchase what’s there at the time that may or may not be right.

Every drop of water is precious and the way in which that water is delivered is vitally important.

Ordering the right machine for your specific requiremen­t will benefit you in large energy savings - which will bene it the balance sheet.

We have had a lot of unseasonal rain this year but it can still go really dry yet.
