SUMMARY:UNFS Expo 2025 (Grain Automate) at Melrose
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n \nInstead of us, Upper North Farming Systems (UNFS), hosting our usual Annual Expo, we’ve decided to partner with the Grains Research & Development Corporation (GRDC), and the Society of Precision Agriculture Australia (SPAA) to bring an Ag Tech Expo into the Upper North.We are very lucky to have Ed Scott, UNFS industry representative, Soil & Land Company president and soil scientist with Field Systems Australia, facilitating the day.With the rapid increase of Ag Tech in farming, it’s important for growers to stay informed about the tools and innovations shaping the future of farming. From data-driven decision-making to automation and remote sensing, ag tech is no longer a futuristic trend, it’s a core part of modern farm management.This event is designed to inform practical, regionally relevant technology and research that can help improve productivity, profitability, and sustainability for Upper North farmers.\n\nMorning tea, lunch and coffee from Splendid Co will be included in your free ticket.\n\nIf you have any questions about this event, you can email them to admin@unfs.com.au\nStay up to date: Follow us on Facebook @uppernorthfarmingsystems or wherever you get your social media.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nDigital Success, not data mess – VRT implementation\nMap your process to automation and setting up the digital farm and boundaries.\n\nSimple steps to plan for autonomy\nGetting your data organised to capitalise on existing and emerging automation\n\nDemonstration: Verge Ag Launch Pad – Path planning highlights the importance of an accurate digital farm.\n\nLearnings from WA\nJoe & Jess Koch Highlights and learnings from Joe and Jess’s trip to the Grain Automate VRT Expo in Esperance.\n\nAutonomy, AI and Data: What is it, what does it do and where is it going\nAndrew WalterMore than just robots – Autonomation and AI coming into Ag and how it can be a tool for your business.\n\nBetter than Blanket – VRT zoning processes\nUsing field data to improve profit, what data layers & case studies.\n\nBlanket applications of inputs are often a high risk strategy,\nBut having confidence in zoning your fields can be a challenge\nUnderstand what layers can help zoning fields for improved management\n\n\nField to figures: designing and analysing on farm trials\n\nBefore going into Variable Rate, on farm validation of strip trials is a great stepping stone.\nWorking out how to design and implement a farm trial using technology, monitor during the season and analyse yield at the end of the season (how to get good trial data).\n\n\nVRT Implementation morning session review\nWhat did we learn, what do we need?\n\nPA in Practice: Precision weed management options\n\nDrone based weed detection – Michael Zwar\nSwarmBot spot spraying – Andrew Sargent\nFlux Robotics Machinery Live Demonstration – Jordy Kitschke\n\n\nNab Sponsor Session\nInterest Rate Risk Manager – Hedging\n\nPanel Session\nJames Venning, Emma Ayliffe, Jordy Kitschke, Andrew Sargent, Michael Zwar\nNetworking Drinks\n\n\n
