The benefits of storing diesel on a farm

On-farm storage of diesel is becoming increasingly important for modern farmers. With diesel being a critical fuel source for most farm machinery, the ability to store fuel on the farm is a crucial aspect of managing farm operations efficiently. Here are some reasons why on-farm storage of diesel is important:

Emergency Preparedness

On-farm diesel storage also provides farmers with a backup fuel supply in the event of an emergency or unexpected interruption to fuel supply in Australia we have had a number of scares related to the nation’s stock pile of fuel. This can include natural disasters, road closures, or fuel shortages. Having a backup fuel supply can help farmers maintain their operations during such events and prevent costly downtime.

Cost Savings

One of the most significant benefits of on-farm diesel storage is the cost savings. By buying diesel in bulk, farmers can save money by taking advantage of volume discounts. They can also avoid the need to purchase fuel at peak times when prices are often higher. Additionally, farmers can save money on delivery costs by reducing the number of fuel deliveries required.


Convenience

On-farm diesel storage is a convenient solution that allows farmers to refuel their machinery on site. In bigger farms we are now seeing farmers using our cartage tank to transport diesel out to machinery in the field, this decrease the down time of machinery. This can save farmers significant amounts of time, particularly during busy periods when every minute counts.

Improved Productivity

Having a fuel supply on site can improve farm productivity by reducing downtime caused by refuelling trips. By having cartage tanks with large volumes of diesel farmers are able to reduce wear and tear on machinery caused by frequent travel over long distances.

Environmental Benefits

On-farm diesel storage can also provide environmental benefits by reducing the number of fuel deliveries required, thus reducing the carbon emissions associated with transporting fuel.

On-farm storage of diesel is a crucial aspect of modern farming operations. The Team at global Roto have a wide range of Cartage tanks for on the farm storage and cartage. On-farm storage provides farmers with cost savings, convenience, emergency preparedness, improved productivity, and environmental benefits. As such, farmers should consider investing in on-farm diesel storage as a practical solution for managing their fuel needs efficiently.

Exploring the Power of Regenerative Farming

Regenerative farming is an approach to agriculture that seeks to restore and improve soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance. One of the key aspects for modern farmers to embrace is biological liquid fertilizers which can play an important role in regenerative farming by providing nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to the soil.

A key resource to begin your journey of discovery is to watch the Australian story below
Australian Story Regenerative farming: A ‘natural way’ to help counteract drought

This will give an introduction to understanding the land and ensures that you are sustainably farming at levels that will ensure the land has time to recover. Understanding the impact of fertilizers, and grazing animals and ensuring that you do not have bare soil that in drought means the topsoil blows away in the wind and when you have storms your topsoil washes away creating further erosion of high-quality top soil.

Australian farmers are beginning to realise that traditional framing techniques are not efficient or cost-effective. The rising of cost conventional fertilisers and supply issues have also accelerated Farmer’s search for new liquid and bio-liquid fertilisers.

Biological liquid fertilizers are made by fermenting various organic materials, such as plant matter, animal manure, and other waste products. The resulting liquid is rich in nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as beneficial microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.

When applied to soil, biological liquid fertilizers can help to increase soil fertility, improve soil structure, and boost plant growth and health. They can also help to reduce soil erosion and nutrient runoff, which can have harmful effects on nearby waterways.

One of the key advantages of biological liquid fertilizers is that they can be made using locally available materials, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and other external inputs. This can help to reduce the environmental impact of farming and improve the resilience of farming systems.

Overall, regenerative farming with biological liquid fertilizers can be a sustainable and effective approach to agriculture that supports soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance.

Hands-on Regeneration farming event

The team at Global recently had the opportunity to present at the hands-on Regeneration farming event the two-day workshop covered cover crops, soil health and biological fertiliser. Trent Farliegh QLD Sales Manager for Global has Presented our range of tanks and cleaning solutions.

The Guest speakers Grant Sims and Matt Marshal gave a number of grant presentations and practical examples on to create healthy soil using biological fertiliser

The workshop covered topics on how to:

  • Improve the life and function of soil through biology
  • Make biological liquid fertiliser is made and apply it. 
  • Use cover crops, and companion crops and discover the benefits of multi-species crops

Biological fertilizers, also known as biofertilizers, are products that contain living microorganisms that help to improve soil fertility and plant growth. These microorganisms include beneficial bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that naturally occur in soil.

In cropping farming, biological fertilizers can be used to enhance soil quality and increase crop yields. They work by increasing the availability of nutrients to plants and improving soil structure, which in turn leads to better root growth and more efficient water and nutrient uptake.

Benefits of Rotomoulded Septic Tanks

In case you haven’t heard yet, we recently announced the release of our new septic tank range, UbiAqua, and we are very excited about it!

From their innovative design to their light weight structure, and strong rotomoulding build, here are 4 reasons why we think plumbers will love our new septic tank range too!

Global’s full range of hiqh-quality and easy-to-install wastewater treatment systems and septic tanks available at UbiAqua. Visit now and see for yourself.

1. They take less time to install

Depending on the plumbing company you decide to work with, traditional concrete and metal septic tanks typically take around 3-7 days to install with extensive digging and land excavation. Because of their heavy weight, they also usually require some form of heavy lifting equipment or machinery.

In contrast, Global’s new septic tank range is lightweight and easy to install. The septic tanks come with moulded-in lifting lugs to make the installation process as easy as possible, and they arrive on your doorstep completely assembled and ready to connect to the sewer/disposal area — no extra steps needed!

2. Fewer tools are required

Because our new septic tanks are delivered completely assembled (with a factory-fitted baffle), plumbers will need little to no extra tools to connect our tanks to the sewer. In other words, a job which once would have required lots of tools, time, and patience, now only requires the bare minimum. We love simplicity!

3. They don’t crack when you are installing them

One of the most common complaints we hear from plumbers about plastic tanks is that they are too delicate and easy to damage if care is not taken (especially during transportation or while they are being installed). Global’s new tank range eliminates this issue via rotomoulding, a process which strengthens the tank’s structure and offers greater durability.

Our septic tanks are manufactured using premium, UV stabilised, high-strength polyethylene. And, the rotomoulding process dictates that they are made from one solid piece of plastic instead of welding or bolting together various components.

As a result, our new septic tank range is more impact resistant and less prone to cracking during installation.

4. They are easy to maintain and clean

Septic tanks regularly require cleaning, pumping out, and routine maintenance. Thankfully, our septic tanks are a lot easier to look after than concrete or metal tanks. They are rust and corrosion resistant, which means that they have a longer lifespan and a lower risk of leakage. And, they can withstand harsh chemicals and hazardous materials, which means that your plumber will never have to worry about damaging your septic tank during the cleaning process.
