Looking for the next big thing in agriculture?
Maybe the next big thing is a small thing. Bigger equipment has given amazing work efficiencies and helped drive production and productivity. Are there any downsides?
As we seek to achieve efficient crop production, we need to manage variability. What are the drivers, what tools can help us? How do we link technology and agronomy?
Leave LandWISE 2015 with new understanding of where technology has taken us, where current development is opening possibilities and which things may yet be some way off.
The theme “The Farm of 2030” comes from a prediction made in 1980 by John Matthews of the UK National Institute for Agricultural Engineering Describing a farm fifty years in the future, soil quality and alternative machinery featured strongly. Computers and robotics were becoming available but GPS, internet and wireless were not.
Join us at our 13th Annual Conference, a meeting of technologists, farmers and their many support providers, where you can engage with leading researchers and practitioners.
Top presenters from Australia and New Zealand will update you on sensors, networks and robots, crop and field variability and what we can do to manage it. Dealing with troublesome weeds, identifying pest outbreaks, monitoring soil moisture and automating irrigation management. Can a robot do our scouting, our weed control, our mowing?
Ultimately, what will a farm look like in 2030? What do we need to be doing to make sure we are ready?
