Doesn’t technology come from knowledge? 🤔
“Regenerative Agriculture is knowledge intense - not technology intense”. Perhaps this is why it’s slow to catch on .... farmers love implementing technology. ‘Soil Care Takers’ love implementing knowledge

Data driven agriculture
Have had to move the 'Onset of Stress' point (AKA 'lowest ever') on a soil probe graph that is in it's 7th year of wheat. Previous low point Oct 2014. Genetic improvement? Better paddock practices? Or just the crappy season driving plant growth? @daleboyd2 @PaulLush

Single origin coffee, single origin milk, now single origin suits. Love it! Bring on decommoditisation using digital teapaw.org/abclandline/status/913…
They're unlikely partners — a Tassie wool farmer and a fashion designer — but this odd couple are having a big impact on men's fashion.

Need some great pics of Austalian farms for my new website Andrea Koch Agtech. Anyone out there handy with a camera and have one to share?
