The Australian climate is very harsh and suffers immensely from drought.
Farmers are forced to improve their use and storage of water.

Water can be stored in dams or reservoirs, but in this type of storage it
provides little benefit other than for watering stock or irrigation of
some crops. The natural pastureland will not benefit significantly from
irrigation but will be much improved if the dense top soil is aerated and
water can penetrate the roots of the natural grasses. In this case the
natural pasture grasses will grow more vigorously and as such will form a
denser cover, reducing the loss of viable top soil due to erosion.

We are looking for people who believe in farming for the future and are
interested in our concepts.
