Sutherland Farms - Case Study

Large-Scale Farming Demands Large-Scale Storage: Why Shane Sutherland Chooses Coerco

Meet Shane Sutherland, who farms alongside his Dad and brothers in a 100% cropping operation growing barley, wheat and canola. With four sprayers running through tight application windows, having reliable on-farm water and Flexi-N (UAN) storage isn’t optional — it’s critical to getting the job done on time.

To keep their spraying and seeding programs moving, Shane’s operation now runs over 30 Coerco tanks, ranging from water and Flexi-N to diesel. With the goal of bringing in 1,300 tonnes of UAN before the season starts, having everything stored on farm gives them the efficiency and certainty they need.

Why Coerco works for Shane’s operation:
✔ Massive on-farm storage capacity — 50,000L tanks comfortably holding 60+ tonnes of UAN
✔ Reduced downtime — no waiting on scheme water or carting from town
✔ Improved efficiency — everything stored in one place, ready to go
✔ Proven reliability — fast delivery and next-day support when it matters
✔ Built for modern farming — far greater capacity than older fibreglass tanks

With spray programs using well over 100,000 litres of water per day, Coerco storage has removed one of the biggest bottlenecks on farm — allowing Shane and his family to focus on what matters most during critical spraying windows.

Engineered for capacity. Built for Australian conditions. Trusted by growers who can’t afford delays.
