Sunshine Coast GD Water Solutions' Skye Jackat said her water bore drilling company offered stock and domestic irrigation bores and supply pumps.
"We've had a few enquiries. Generally when it's drier the enquiries pick up. During the drought your dams run low and farmers are carting water...costing thousands," she said.
"But if they can drill a bore on their property and get significant water, they don't need to cart and they're self-sufficient. It can be potable water and they can pump it to the tanks at the house."

"Producers understand the importance of things like testing...[and] we're seeing a response from our clients around IVF," he said.
NQ Equipment's Jack and Shane Taylor from Cairns showcased land care equipment including the post-in trencher, which they said had flooded the market.
