Looking to explore the future of farming?

Look no further than the AgTech Demonstration Farms organised by PIRSA!

These farms showcase the latest agricultural technology, providing visitors with a space to learn how advanced tools support key farm decisions.

Whether you’re interested in comparing products from different suppliers for cost and performance, or learning how AgTech solutions improve farming. You can also speak with industry experts to understand the benefits, and the AgTech Demonstration Farm provides the ideal environment.

Currently at the Struan site, we have 3 x HOBO Wireless 4G Field Monitoring kits in place to monitor the farm’s agriculture. These include:

  • Weather Station kit to monitoring system temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, and more.
  • Soil Moisture kit utilises the latest web-enabled technology to monitor the soil temperature and potential at multiple depths up to 90cm deep.
  • Water Level kit with integrated solar panel for easy long-term deployment to monitor your water reservoir, including tanks, bores, and dam levels

Live Station Monitoring Dashboards

Each RX station is powered by LI-COR’s Cloud Platform (formerly HOBOlink) to provide farmers with a comprehensive and customisable solution for monitoring their data. The dashboard can be configured to suit each farmer’s requirements and provides a clear overview of what is happening on the farm at any given time. The live data link, on the other hand, is a robust tool to analyze detailed real-time information and product in-depth reports so farmers can make informed decisions about irrigation, planting, and crop maintenance.
