- Irrigated pasture. Sprinkler and pivot pasture irrigation for dairy and other grazing.
- Pivots on open lands. Buying, moving or upgrading centre pivots on large, regular fields.
- Groundwater pumping. Pump installation sized to the tested borehole yield, sometimes several boreholes into one dam.
- Water timing. Irrigation scheduling for light, frequent applications on sand.
Sandveld Soil and Water Factors
- Sandy soils. Sand holds little water, so irrigation is applied more often in smaller amounts.
- Groundwater. Boreholes are the main source, so yield decides how many hectares a system can cover.
- Wind. Wind affects sprinkler distribution, which matters for pasture coverage.
- Power. Long pumping hours make energy use a large part of running costs.

Agricultural Irrigation Hopefield FAQs
Is a pivot a good fit for pasture?
Pivots are widely used for pasture on large, regular fields. Smaller or odd-shaped fields may suit sprinklers better.
How often should sandy soils be irrigated?
More often with less water per cycle. A scheduling adviser can set this for your soil and crop.
Can one borehole supply a pivot?
It depends on the yield. Some pivots are fed from several boreholes into a dam or tank.
