Farming on York Peninsula with my 2 sons. Enjoy posting about the technology we use.

#agsky @agleaderAP Now that #harvest24 is complete it's time to start analysing the data. Overlaying Yield Map with @cropscan Protein Data looking for anomalies and wastage in a Decile 1 rainfall year. Particularly looking for any signs of excess N application. @KalimarAg

Doing some Standard Deviation Analysis on Yield Maps correlating yields to soil type in preparation for some VR maps and micro nutrient trials in 2025. @AgLeaderTech
Yield Maps for the win👍 #agsky

How far can we go? Adding a Raven ECU to our Air Cart to control 5 granular products alongside 2 CNHI Mueller ECU’s controlling 3 Liquid products. 8 Channels total. We have high confidence that our @AgLeaderTech InCommand 1200 will do the job. They haven’t let us down yet.👍 #agsky

@agleader.bsky.social @kalimarag.bsky.social #agsky After a delay due to rain, harvest operations have resumed. Keeping an eye on operations remotely via AgFiniti. We can only harvest wheat when moisture is under 13.5%
So far Falling Numbers testing is over 300 so no downgrades 🤞🤞

#agsky US farmers are complaining about the cost of John Deere tractors now. They’re going to be screaming if this goes through. 🫣
Today on the Reuters World News podcast:

#agsky @KalimarAg Harvest 2024.

#agsky I think most South Australian farmers would agree with this in 2024
Optimist: the cup is half full
Pessimist: the cup is half empty
Meteorologist: There is a 50% chance of cup, but no one agrees or understands what that means.

(Half the time this happened before, at least one cup was full in somewhere in the room?)
Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Mircobiologist: the cup is full. Just look at what grew on this plate when wd swabbed the inside of the cup and the sequences we recovered from the filtered air.

Taking advantage of the global disruption in trade to post exorbitant price increases will have long term impact on all manufacturers.

Pushing hard on the Wheat before some rain. 450ha in the last 4 days. Considering we’ve only had 163mm of rain this year reaping 4t/ha here is very satisfying. We must be doing something right.🤔👍

It’s been really good to see the number of people involved in Agriculture around the world appearing in the #BlueSky. Let’s hope that we can make this the area for friendly discussion & sharing that Twitter used to be before it degenerated into X.
RIP #agtwitter long live #BlueSkyAg

Most people fail to realise the significant impact and benefit of Open Source. Without Richard Stallman, GNU software and the developments that flowed from there, the world would be a vastly different place. Through Open Source a lot of people have contributed for the benefit of all.
Roboflow raises $40M US for the continued development of open source tools and platforms for vision AI.

This tech enables a lot of subject matter experts (e.g. farmers/weed scientists) to incorporate ML into their fields.

There is a lot of value in open source tech.
We Raised $40M to Invest In Enterprise and Open Source Vision AI
At Roboflow, our mission is to make the world programmable. We’ve raised an additional $40 million to continue building the open source tools, platform, and community so developers and enterprises can...

Technology. Too often farmer are told something can’t be done, even when it is possible, just because a sales rep or tech support doesn’t know how or understand the potential.

#KalimarAg We regularly write about the Precision Ag tools we use with the aim of informing others about what’s available and also about what’s given us grief.
November 21, 2024 at 8:06 PM
We like to chat about the Precision Ag tools we use on farm. Using #AgLeader AgFiniti to check the location of the other truck and return time. A huge help in harvest logistics.

Hoping that the BoM’s 2024 record of forecasting rain that doesn’t happen holds up for the remainder of the year. I’d hate to see this eventuate and ruin a good drought.👀😉

A whiteboard from our Jan 2023 team retreat where I wrote down our goals, and the top one was “10k user signups.”

We’re growing by 10k users every 10-15 minutes right now.
