A Legacy of Excellence
Water management, especially in the realm of agriculture, is a delicate balance between meeting the needs of the present and preserving for the future. At Ravensworth Agriculture, we recognise this intricate balance and have woven it into the very fabric of our operations. Employing a myriad of water management strategies ensures that our cotton crops have a consistent and uninterrupted water supply, allowing us to plan our cultivation cycles with precision. Beyond mere sourcing, our supplementary licenses play a pivotal role in our water strategy. These licenses, combined with our substantial on-farm storage facilities, enable efficient capture and utilisation of water during supplementary flow allocations. It’s not just about having water; it’s about using it wisely. By optimising every drop, we ensure that our cotton flourishes while still respecting and conserving our most precious resource.
