More wheat roots than I have ever seen below 60cm ripline! Inclusion of limed topsoil behind the ripping tine has provided pathway for roots down into the moist subsoil giving them a better chance if this dry spring becomes a reality #SWANWA @DPIRDbroadacre @theGRDC

Basal (ground level) Sclerotinia in lupin crop near Yuna today, we at DPIRD are continuing research on this challenging pathogen as part of the Soilborne disease Initiative, a national research program funded by GRDC, with great collaboration from lupin growers

No two farms are the same, and neither are the precision ag solutions that work best 🚜. Join Bindi Isbister at the 2026 Australian Precision Ag Symposium as she shares insights into route planning and spatial decision support for broadacre farming.

Boundaries are key foundation for autonomous systems. Yet at a practical farm level they not as consistent as some would think. They are one of my biggest frustrations processing farm data. Here is why actfa.net/project/georeferen… @CTFarmingAus
Two Kojonup “kids” nominated for an award AusAgritech Awards in Brisbane last night. Rob @AgoraLivestock Digital Excellence Award and myself Liz Alexander Ecosystem Support Award. We have an amazing Agtech ecosystem in Australia. You never know where life will take you

The countdown is on, Lake Grace!
Tomorrow, join us in Lake Grace for an exclusive demo of our cutting-edge SwarmBots.
See how #IntegratedAutonomy, smart robotics and precision agtech from our SwarmConnect partner @bossagriculture come together to make farming more efficient and productive.
This is your chance to explore real-world solutions that can help your farm thrive.
We can’t wait to see you there—get ready for an agtech experience straight from the #FutureOfFarming!

Hey WA, the countdown is on for Newdegate Demo Day!
We’re bringing our SwarmBots and teaming up with our awesome SwarmConnect partner @bossagriculture to showcase the latest in autonomous farming technology.
Discover how #IntegratedAutonomy is revolutionizing farm efficiency and precision across real-world operations.
If agtech innovation is your focus, this live demo is a must-attend. See how SwarmFarm Robotics is helping growers increase productivity while cutting down on inputs.
Mark your calendar and get ready to experience the #FutureOfFarming at Newdegate Demo Day!

“Mouse macropores” not really the type of amelioration we want to use to improve infiltration - must be a big nest pictured right or they love burrowing into freshly deep ripped 500mm soil that was spaded in 2017. Left photo unspaded 2017 ripped in 2026 (~150m apart)
This hybrid autonomous world we work in at the moment as we build autonomous systems is doing my head in this month….everything from poor connectivity, different geo reference systems or the software just can do it yet😬😬😬
Planning how your machines are going to navigate a paddock whether they are autonomous or not is a way to increase efficiency #GrainAutomate @theGRDC @Verge_Ag
Machinery path planning is not just about optimising efficiency ie less time, fuel or inputs it needs to consider reducing environmental risks. Have a listen to how @Koomaview & @PitCritic are using path planning software to do

One track, two tracks or the whole wheel track zone - some of the options we reviewed at the @WANTFA_farming demo day Frankland. Maintaining tracks helps with an even seedbed, less wear& tear on machinery & erosion risk #SWANWA
“All layers are players - look for soil opportunities not constraints” my fav line from @PitCritic at the @WANTFA_farming wheel track demo day at Frankland last week where we also looked at soil mixing/ripping. A colourful array of soil types.
Wheel track renovation is that on your summer job list? Looking forward to seeing some different renovators in action and learning some tips and tricks from those using the machines.
Too damp for harvest this morning so we went spraying with a @datafarming’s Weedsat prescription: 30cm satellite resolution, target area to be sprayed 31% of the paddock #GrainAutomate
Track renovation is going to be a job for this summer especially with a wet harvest. With a wet subsoil harvesters and chaser bins can leave residual compaction evident for years to come especially if traffic is not confined to permanent tramlines/tracks @CTFarmingAus
Rutted or compacted tramlines? 🤔
Watch Bindi Isbister from @dpirdwa and grower Cameron Johnson explore how long-term tramlines can become a constraint affecting machinery & crop performance.

Out groundtruthing for @datafarming Weedsat project with Flynn from HDT surveyors flying the drone. Cool set up with solar panels&battery to charge the drone batteries and power the laptop to check the data in the field as we go #GrainAutomate
