Are you a farmer interested in achieving tremendous savings on energy costs? Do you want to know more about how you could be almost completely energy independent?

Agriculture Victoria is hosting this webinar to guide you through the Wilandra Virtual Farm tour.

While utility costs continue to rise there are ways to bring them under control. Wilandra Farms demonstrates just how far this can be taken in an irrigated dairy setting with significant savings across the farm and in particular with respect to irrigation energy savings.

The webinar will take you on a guided virtual tour of solutions delivered on-farm. Join us along with Sandra Jefford of Wilandra Farms and Stephen Soutar of Alternate Energy Innovations to see just how your energy bills can be reduced by over 80 per cent!
