How can you use the latest digital, data-driven technology to make better decisions on your farm?

Monitor your water levels remotely, thereby reducing the time and expense spent manually checking tanks and troughs.

Assess pastures from the sky with forage budgeting tools accessed via mobile, delivering within-paddock estimates of pasture biomass in kg/ha to producers to inform seasonal stocking rate decisions.

Keep an eye on electric fences with remotely operated voltage monitoring sensors, reducing time and expense spent manually checking fences for real time reads.

Optimise carcase performance with 3D systems aiming to provide assessments of hip height, fat, muscle and therefore body condition of live cattle in real time up to 100 days before slaughter — enabling producers and feedlots to make informed decisions to optimise carcase performance and profitability.

This digital technology and data‑driven products were on display for producers to explore at MLA’s digital farm during Beef Australia 2021 in Rockhampton.
