And weather, even though it can’t control it, is an integral part of the data bundle according to Prassack Advisors. One problem farmers face is which weather data service to ch
Learn, share, connect and be inspired about all things precision agriculture at the 19th Symposium on Precision Agriculture in Australasia in September. The landmark event will kick-off in Toowoomba on Monday 12 September. Running over three jam-packed days, the Symposium will feature guest speakers, practical presentations, farm tours and networking opportunities. A panel of speakers will showcase the use of precision agriculture (PA) technologies from a range of agricultural production systems. Attendees will hear about the latest research developments in production systems including grains, livestock, sugar, horticulture and vegetables and environment. The event has more than 20 presentat
