Do you enjoy listening to podcasts? Then we have some good news for you, season five of “AgVic Talk” is now live and includes episodes on energy!
This season of ‘AgVic Talk’ highlights personal stories of people who have overcome on-farm energy challenges. You’ll hear from a diverse range of people, about how they identify opportunities, modernise, adapt and grow their farm business both now and into the future.
In our second energy focussed episode of the series we hear from Christine Sebire and Peter Clinnick. Nearly $80,000 a year to run your irrigation pumps is a big incentive to look for a cheaper way to operate your farm. This is a story that’s much more than just focusing on cost saving. It’s also about cutting greenhouse gas emissions, making a property less labour-intensive. And in a few years’ time, also significantly increasing profits. For Christine Sebire and her husband, Andrew, it’s been a change in the way they farm and it all started with an energy audit that are conducted by people like Peter Clinnick, who’s an energy consultant with Advanced Environmental Systems.
