Farmers: did you know you may be eligible for a $20,000 Government water management grant?

Irrigation Management Grants
The Government is providing grants of up to $20,000 (GST exclusive) to assist Murray-Darling Basin irrigators to implement water management strategies. Grants are available to help irrigators undertake a range of approved activities that address reduced water allocations and improve on-farm practices to maximise production from the water that is available.
Irrigators will be able to access to the grant for approved activities undertaken from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2009.
Irrigators can select from the following activities:
piping, troughs and associated activities for stock and domestic water
fixed water charges
sinking/extending/refurbishment of bores (and pumps)
pruning activities to minimise the impact of low water allocations
reconfiguring irrigation systems
equipment replacement to maintain irrigation systems (including computer software, piping and pumps)
costs associated with implementing water efficient crop options; and
laser leveling.

A beautiful outlook for growing grapes at Torrumbarry

A & R Water Solutions came on board soon after the Coogan family bought Coogan Estate, a vineyard at Torrumbarry on the Murray River. The company does the maintenance on the pumps and drip irrigation system for the 61 acres under vines. The family has now purchased another property in the region, will be expanding into another 15 acres of grapes and A & R Water Solutions will be installing and maintaining this system from scratch.

As well, the company has revitalised the homestead’s expansive garden with new sprinklers, pump and valve replacements to serve the waterlily-filled small lake and its lovely fountains. Regular maintenance will ensure the fountains operate without a hitch.

Vineyard manager Ashley Coogan said Adam Harris came out to the property within 24 hours of a phone call for assistance. “Even if it’s Sunday, if you need something from the shop Adam will be there,” said Ashley, “and if he needs to get it in, it usually takes only a week. Adam knows the right product for the job and we leave the choice to him, we trust him. He’s very professional and you feel your business is in good hands.”
