“A lot of us at harvest, when pressure's on and we're trying to get more harvest hours in a day, more grain in per day, if we're limited by a grain moisture, we go and look at, I'll get a contract harvester in, I'll buy a bigger header next year, I'll go to a second or a third header next year. What if we could manage moisture in grain do it with less headers? Because we get more hours in a day. “So we can start harvest a few hours earlier or run it a few hours later or those overcast days where

“That price gap's a hurdle for a lot of farmers. I feel that I've probably got other farmers that would, but the majority of them would not be keen to spend that amount of money compared to what they could be doing with Trojan. “Most farmers will want to see an economical return from that long term. And because we need that from every aspect of farming. “Farming is a money-making venture. We're not doing it as a hobby. “As Paul suggested, I think probably just picking a paddock at a time is a

“This year, in terms of the IOD, it's just been sitting there in neutral. We've been just watching it, seeing if there's anything developing. At the moment, there's a slight hint that it's looking like it could go a little bit, negative IOD, which would actually increase our chances of some rainfall, but similar to the Pacific Ocean, in the Indian Ocean, that is purely just based on a temperature difference between the Horn of Africa and the waters off the coast of Sumatra. “Again, like the El

Poorly managed conflict is the biggest internal threat to your business’ bottom line. There is no change without conflict and there is always conflict where there is change. The right conflict; healthy arguments over differing ideas in an environment of mutual respect; stimulates both personal and business growth. “The reason why it's [good conflict resolution] so critical is because everything that we do in every group has human interaction at its core. The quality of our lives is determined by

“So it's essentially a drone in a box. And it is automated, but it's only just been released, so it will open up at a predetermined time, do its map, and come back, park up and close up for the night. And people are sending them out every day to collect data, “It's in a weatherproof station that sits outside a shed or something like that. As long as it's got internet and power, you can then plan flights at any time of the day. “So it will open up. It's got its own little weather station

That can disable the system if it's not planned correctly. “It can cause the internet to go down. Say for example, so there's no alerts coming through, or it could stop a camera from working altogether.” In our sixth episode, sponsored by GE Silos, we chat with AgCloud’s Grant

“I’m most excited about, probably for the wrong reasons, lasers because they are awesome to use! “There's just so much energy! It just gets blasted into these weed plants in such a fantastic, intense, short period of time. It's quite satisfying to burn these weeds to a crisp with a big laser.” In our fifth episode of our series On the Horizon: Farm Tech Janine chats to Professor Michael Walsh from Charles Sturt University about alternative weed control options. The conversation covers mechanical

It means we can keep our weight really light for a 24 meter boom, for example, we'll be eight ton loaded, so you can get on the ground nice and early.

New farm office tech and cybersecurity with Carmen Quade “I think the first thing to do is to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. When new things come in, we’re often bad at it. “And as adults, you don't like that feeling of things being difficult or hard or harder than they were. And it's just acknowledging that initially things are going to be harder before they get easier and just persisting through that.” In our third episode, we chat with AgriFocused’s Carmen, who shares the latest

“It did happen, that's true, but it's also a pain in the neck with logistics, right? At harvest time, it's hard sending trucks different ways and shifting shifters at your own site or having some trucks going to the site and some going home. The secret sauce is getting your economy right and using these maps to inform what you're doing next time around.” In our second episode, we chat with Kaniva farmer Jonathan Dyer, who shares how he uses the data from his protein machine to create nitrogen maps

“Take that challenge. Nut it out, really. Have a bit of persistence and find support from someone else to get ideas on how to fix it. What are other people doing to get through those wet conditions? How do they do that? Can I keep climbing that ladder, rather than starting back from scratch? Because, as we climb that ladder, our yields are improving. “We're getting way better soil health. It's better for our bottom line. We're getting way more sustainable farms.” In the first episode, we chat with
