It's not just dairy farmers that reap the benefits of Aquaflex.
Aquaflex is commonly used on dairy farms to measure soil moisture and soil temperature under pasture.
However in the Mackenzie Basin we have a number of sheep and beef farms who are seeing the benefits of using Aquaflex.
The soil in the Mackenzie Basin is typically free draining so timing of irrigation is crucial. Aquaflex assists with pasture management and provides accountability that water is only being applied when necessary.
These farms have had Aquaflex installed for a number of years and have evolved from a manual data download to monitoring their data remotely via telemetry.
