As the uptake of the Round Bale (RB) picking system has been widespread and rapid it is not a matter of whether or not the industry should adopt this technology rather a process of determining its impacts evaluating i

An energy assessment establishes energy saving opportunities. Measuring (or estimating) energy use enables comparison with industry benchmarks and, in turn, identifies high energy use areas.

Pumps are simple machines that turn pump shaft rotational speed and torque into fluid energy in the form of elevation, velocity and pressure energies.

Water pumping is 46% to 75% of the total direct energy use as large quantities of water are pumped for irrigation. How efficiently this happens depends on the efficiency of the pump stations.
