As a result of the Smarter Irrigation Project we now have soil moisture monitors in Paddocks 7 (spray irrigated, free draining Tinamba red soil), Paddock 22 and Paddock 30 (both flood irrigated, heavy duplex soil). These monitors feed live data that shows soil moisture content at 10cm, 20cm and 30cm in the paddocks. You can follow soil moisture levels through the irrigation season below.
The Macalister Demonstration farm would like to express our deepest Gratitude to Fonterra Australia's Gippsland team for their support
