PAIRTREE PIPES - Allowing Farmers to CONNECT to the Future

Come and catch up on the latest in innovation and data sharing at AS/40 at AgSmart, Bendigo.

80% of farmers have between 5 - 10 Agtech apps and digital Ag services, that they utilise in their farming operations. Most are overwhelmed and frustrated with the consideration of adopting new services.

On the other side of the coin more and more Agtech is being created to make data collection, measurement, monitoring and operational insights easier; or to prove eligibility for the new programs and compliance tools.

The great thing is, that farmers are getting more choice and flexibility for services that suit their operation. The bad thing is that there will be more ‘double entering’ and setup for each new service that farmers are wishing to invest in.
