Variable Rate Technology Field Day

Location

Bidgeemia

This event is funded through the following projects:

- Innovative soil technologies to foster resilience and climate-smart crop production (funded through the Australian Government’s National Heritage Trust: Climate-smart Agriculture Program (Partnerships and Innovation).

- Fostering the adoption of variable rate fertiliser application for improved nutrient use efficiency (a GRDC-supported national project led by the Society of Precision Agriculture Australia).

- Hyper Profitable Crops (an investment of the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).

VARIABLE RATE TECHNOLOGY FIELD DAY

Join Riverine Plains for a practical field event showcasing current research and technology supporting more efficient, informed and sustainable farm management.

What we'll cover

The morning will begin with an introduction to the trial site established this year, where we are trialling a number of different soil amendments such as lime, gypsum and mechanical interventions.

Participants will hear how this work is helping growers better understand soil constraints, improve input efficiency and make more targeted decisions across variable paddocks.

The event will also include a practical machinery safety session, followed by demonstrations of variable-rate lime and fertiliser spreading equipment. A live SwarmFarm demonstration will highlight the potential of autonomous machinery to support more precise and efficient farming operations.

This event is suited to growers, agronomists, advisers and industry professionals interested in soil management, precision agriculture, machinery innovation and practical on-farm adoption.
