Appreciate the small things - life can be short. Something we need to remember more often

“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 this #GrainAutomate open.spotify.com/episode/1rt…

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.
Farmers - Wheeltrack Rennovation Workshop / Live Demo Day. February 12, Frankland River. Come and see current renovators from manufacturers and farmer/engineer made renovators doing live demonstrations. Highlights in the flyer / map to the farm and details. Free event all welcome

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. Watch the full video: bit.ly/4i4bsHC #SoilManagement #CTF #GRDC

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

With a mechanic& PA consultant in the house lately Software issues are a daily topic - it’s the mental health equivalent for machines- looks fine physically, takes lots of questions to diagnose the problem & the answer is often not simple if there is an answer yet at all!

Looking forward to being a panel speaker at #IPRAAC2025 to discuss AriTech Frontiers: harnessing robotics, AI and Autonomy to feed the future. I’m lucky to be working on multiple @theGRDC #GrainAutomate projects helping apply the new tech at a farm level. Exciting possibilities

Any suggestions for software that can read Topcon x30 boundaries & spray application data that we don’t need another pricey subscription for? I tried SMS but despite 3 attempts exporting from the screen it will only read in the data for half the paddocks (same paddocks each time)
