Arable & Cropping

No two cropping operations are ever the same. From single crops of wheat, oats or barley through to specialised seed production, vegetables, herbage and forage crops, there is huge variety – often within a single property.

An irrigation system needs to be flexible enough to cope with the challenge of catering for multiple crops growing alongside one another.

WaterForce has decades of experience and can recommend the right irrigation system, including the best sprinklers, for your particular situation. We work with leading international manufacturers and can design systems to suit the variability of cropping operations in New Zealand.

Our goal is to provide you with a highly efficient irrigation system that will resemble natural rain conditions as closely as possible and minimise soil disturbance. To do this we’ll analyse your soil type, what crops you have growing, their height when fully grown, as well as your farm’s existing layout and infrastructure.

WaterForce supplies quality products including Valley pivots with customised and specialised sprinkler packs, linear irrigation, Ocmis hard hose guns and booms among our range of tailored solutions.

If you mix rotation crops with stock, we can also take care of your stock water needs and design a comprehensive system to suit your varying aims.

We recommend high-quality irrigation management tools such as Valley VRI (Variable Rate Irrigation) and SCADAfarm to our arable and cropping clients. This will give you complete control over your systems and maximise efficiencies.

High value crops are vulnerable if irrigation equipment unexpectedly breaks down during the growing season. Our dedicated teams of service technicians are available 24/7 to respond if you need them so your crop’s development can stay on track for optimum growth. We also offer regular maintenance programmes in winter to help prolong your irrigation system’s life and ensure everything runs smoothly when you need it most.
