Operational Update

Daylight savings starts this weekend

Daylight savings begins this Sunday, 6 October. 

This means that if you are placing an order to end after this date, the water ordering system will automatically increase the order by one hour to the normal finish time to enable lodgement. 
 
Our team will manually adjust all previously submitted orders ending after 6 October to the correct operating time for the channel system.

For more information, please ring our Customer Experience Team on 1300 138 265 or send us an email: customersupport@murrayirrigation.com.au

Mineral supplementation for beef and sheep webinar 

Meat & Livestock Australia is hosting a free online webinar on Wednesday 9 October, on livestock mineral supplements and their cost-effectiveness.

This webinar features livestock consultant Deb Scammell, who assists producers with nutrition and production planning in their sheep and beef enterprises. She consults directly to farmers and runs industry courses and projects.
 
This webinar covers:


  • Determining why and what you need before purchasing products that are not fit for purpose.
  • Saving money on supplements by determining when they are required, what is required and what is the most economical way to supply this.
  • Finding the best fit ‘supplement method’ for yourself and your property.
