Attention: Farmers, Hobby Farmers and Acreage Holders
23% Failure Rate for Farm Dams
Do Not Call an Earth Moving Company until you Read This.
A $3000 – $7000 dam can rapidly turn into a million dollar nightmare (with lives lost) in just
one downpour of rain if certain key principles are not strictly adhered to. 23% of new farm
dams fail each year in NSW alone.
Find out how you can get hands-on-controls experience with earth moving machinery and
acquire all the necessary knowledge to direct Professional Surveyors, Plant Operators and
Contractors in the most important permanent projects on your farm.
Experienced farm designers want to show you exactly how to harvest every drop of water
falling on your property, protecting crops and livestock from drought while every farm
around you cracks and turns brittle brown.
And at the same time give you a solid understanding of the finer points of:
• Modern high tech and ancient low tech survey equipment for planning and peg-out.
• Soil testing and decision making process affecting your farm for the next 200 years.
• How not to lose a half million dollar earth mover to a hidden under surface bog.
• Earthworks that automatically irrigate your whole farm without even 1m of poly pipe.
• How to increase fertility and farm production by cutting a road into a hillside.
• Hints and tips on how to get the Government to pay for major farm projects.
David Spicer and Danial Lawton, renowned international farm designers who’ve overseen
