and FIELD STORIES #001
When people think of Tasmania, they think of oceans, mountains and wild landscapes. Not potatoes. Not irrigation.
Yet for the people who live and work here, this scene is perfectly ordinary. A potato field, an IRTEC hose reel, and another day getting the job done.
We couldn't think of a better way to begin our — or rather, your — Field Stories: different continents. Same need.
This image was shared by Rob Ikin of Van Diemen's Land Irrigation, IRTEC's partner in Tasmania.
For many of us, Tasmania sits on the other side of the world. Thanks to Rob, today it feels a little closer.
Real irrigation. Real fields. Real stories.
This one comes from Tasmania. The next one could come from your field.
