Irrigation SOLUTIONS

Efficient water management has become an ever-growing concern in agriculture – with the drought facing the Western Cape being one of the most pertinent examples in this regard. Finding tools and methods to save water is critical to the future success of farming, not just in South Africa, but globally as well.

 At Overberg Agri, we offer professional irrigation designs and solutions that comply with all of the South African Irrigation Institute’s standards, as well as supplying superior quality irrigation requirements at competitive prices. Our irrigation designers utilise Wcadi design programs in conjunction with Model Maker for designs and detailed Installation drawings.

We’re also encouraging farmers to increasingly make use of precision-farming methods. In addition to better water-use efficiency and conservation, precision irrigation helps growers manage other precious resources more effectively, produce healthier crops, and make a difference in nutrient and disease management as well. 

Valley® Irrigation products are one of our sustainability partners in this regard. Valley® Irrigation is the worldwide leader in precision irrigation and are dedicated to finding more sustainable irrigation solutions for farmers. The Valley® brand of center pivot, linear, and corner equipment ensure that each plant gets just the right amount of water and fertiliser for maximum yield. With the world population set to reach nearly 10bn by 2050, higher agricultural yields will be needed to meet the demand for food — just as the likely effects of climate change intensify.

Our knowledgeable team strive to keep up with the latest developments in precision farming practices research and equipment by undergoing regular training.
