Farmer Matt Saves the Day
Publisher Description
Farmer Matt was using siphon flood irrigation on his crops. He realised he was using way too much water. He finds out about centre pivot irrigation and this improves his water use and his crops.
The 2014 “Farming Families” Enviro-Stories program had students from across north western New South Wales writing and illustrating books about farming. This was in support of the International Year of Family Farming. This program focussed on the knowledge that for our farms, towns and communities to survive we must work together to protect, preserve and support our local farming industry.
