Agriculture Victoria is inviting farmers to sit down with a cuppa and join a series of water planning webinars running over five weeks.

Agriculture Victoria land management extension officer Clem Sturmfels said deciding on upgrades to your farm water supply requires planning and there is no one-size-fits-all answer, but having a well-considered plan can take the pressure off.

“Farmers may be asking themselves: do I build a dam, sink a bore or join a rural pipeline?” he said.

“These questions are front of mind this year after a lack of cool-season rainfall, together with warmer than average temperatures.

“To assist with developing a water plan, we are running a series of relaxed and informal morning tea webinars. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and share knowledge and experience.

“Participants will also have access to a range of past webinar recordings, videos and resources as part of this webinar series.”

Presented by Mr Sturmfels, who has more than 45 years experience in the design, construction and repair of farm dams and farm water reticulation systems, this series is full of practical information and tips for farmers to help set themselves up now and into the future.

The webinars will take place at 10am every Tuesday from November 18 through to December 16.

Participants are encouraged to attend all five sessions.
