DAVCO FARMING
• Sugarcane Enterprise in Burdekin River Irrigation Area
• Annual rainfall 900mm(80% Dec-March)
• 2800 hectare cultivated - fully irrigated by furrow
• Irrigation of 750 to 1000 mm/year

MOSAIC LAYOUT PROBLEMS
10
• Dramatic Increase In Pests on a very large perimeter Eg Wild pigs, Kangaroos, Parrots
• Larger Capital Costs – eg longer roads, railway & electricity transmission lines Significant for low value/tonne crop
• Larger Operating Costs – Equipment service labour travel times & Service vehicle travel costs

DRIP IRRIGATION
13
• Disadvantage• Capital Cost: $6600/ha vs $1200/ha for furrow
• Pumping/Energy Cost: 300% higher than furrow
• Advantages• Lower labour
• Lower fertilizer use
• Some water savings
• Some yield Increase
• Conclusion: ?????
