Optimising farm scale returns from irrigated grains: maximising dollar return per megalitre of water
This investment will assist growers, advisers and the grains sector more broadly make informed decisions that maximise the economic return per megalitre of water from irrigating crops. The investment will generate an economic calculator that enables sensitivity analysis to quantify economic impacts of changes in water, commodity and input price and irrigation method at the whole farm scale, allowing growers to evaluate multiple cost: benefit scenarios concurrently.
