To discuss your Whole Farm Plan contact DEPI Tatura reception on 03 5833 5222.

Preparing a Whole Farm Plan (WFP) is the fundamental first step in developing an irrigation system. It is particularly important for border-check irrigation as it integrates all farm development components, including :
  • the water supply – channels and structures;
  • the bays – their length, width, and flow rates, to suit the slopes, soil types and grazing rotation;
  • the drainage system – including drainage reuse, and off-farm drainage;
  • stock access;
  • tree plantings, and
  • all other farm development activities such as where any new buildings are to be located.

A good WFP ensures that maximum productivity is obtained from the resources available.
