Waimacher doesn't let opportunities pass them by. Aaron has been running two neighbouring properties and when the opportunity arose to buy an adjacent block the company grabbed it. From there it was full steam ahead in amalgamating the farms and building a new cow shed which also meant a new effluent management system.
Once plans for the cow shed were underway it was time to focus on how to manage the effluent. Having visited the farm a few times, Aaron was happy to take advice from Nevada Effluent Management Specialist, Mike.
The first consideration was storage. A large HDPE lined pond was the best option to be able to store plenty of effluent over wet periods when spreading isn’t an option. A weeping wall was considered, but instead Aaron installed a double stone trap to allow organic solids to pass through into the pond.
From there a powerful Nevada electric stirrer gets the pond well mixed before a Sabre progressive cavity (PC) pump (which is big enough to handle future expansions) pumps the effluent out to a Greenback Magnum travelling irrigator.
