As a water broker, Dustin Gordon from True Blue Water is constantly helping his clients make smart decisions in an unpredictable market. When he was introduced to DelayPay through co-founder Dwain Duxson, he quickly saw the potential of the “Water Now, Pay Later” model to give farmers breathing room.
“There’s a lot going on day-to-day for farmers. Having the option to purchase water and set up a line of credit helps them plan better,” Dustin says. “It actually works really well.”
One South Australian client of Dustin’s used DelayPay to buy 200 megaliters of water at $180/ML before the market spiked to $300/ML just six weeks later. “That one move saved him tens of thousands of dollars,” Dustin says.
Another recent example involved a Victorian farmer using DelayPay’s 90-day term to secure 500 megaliters of temporary water now, carry it over into the new season, and delay payment until August—ensuring access to water despite low opening allocations and expected price pressure.
“It’s a seamless process,” Dustin explains. “We just do the paperwork and within a week the water’s in their account. With the banks, it could take three or four weeks—and in the temporary market, that’s a long time.”
To Dustin, what made DelayPay stand out was its flexibility and speed, helping farmers take advantage of market timing and secure their season plans with confidence.
“Give them a go,” Dustin encourages. “Especially in drought conditions, purchasing water at the right time can save you a lot of money.”
