Australian #agriculture is in the middle of a genuine technology revolution, and two things flipped the switch: #AI and Starlink. Reliable connectivity meets real-time decision-making, and suddenly the paddock fits in your pocket. The constraint is no longer the technology. As Grains Research and Development Corporation Craig Baillie puts it, the challenge now is imagining what you can do with it. Australia has the farmers, the founders, and the operating conditions to lead here. The question is whether we back them at the scale the opportunity deserves. SwarmFarm Robotics is leading the revolution - Their autonomous robots cut herbicide use by more than 90%. One farmer lifted daily spraying from 45 to 84 hectares with an autofill system that lets the machines run around the clock. 270+ units sold, 70 staff, $70M raised, manufactured in Queensland and competing with John Deere and Case. https://lnkd.in/gh83_FjM GrainInnovate
