The Agtech Revolution Episode 10

When it comes to Australian agriculture, ‘The North’ surely has to be one of the most exciting regions when it comes to developing new opportunities. From Northern WA and the NT to Northern Queensland, farming in Northern Australia, our ‘Last Frontier’ is not for the faint of heart. Witnessing the emergence of a cotton industry around Kunnunnurra, Katherine and Julia Creek shows the extent of the opportunities but, at the same time, also the unprecedented challenges that growers face in the North.

Operational efficiency is essential for Incitec Pivot Fertilisers (IPF) to maximise product usage and ensure timely delivery to customers. To support this, IPF's EASY Liquids has introduced tank monitoring sensors to streamline operations and improve fertiliser delivery and stock management, ensuring farmers have fertiliser supplies readily available, particularly during peak seasonal demand.

Monitoring soil moisture and local weather conditions is common practice for many farmers as both factors are instrumental in growing crops or raising livestock. Few crops however are as susceptible to small changes as grapes. And with table grapes the looks matter just as much as the quality, leaving very little room for error for growers to produce a marketable product.
