There is no indication of multiple speakers or the involvement of Francisco Jimenez.

It was the legacy that was left from our parents and grandparents. Pretty much any tractor we've got here on the farm is all John Deere. We've had such a good run with them. There's been no excuse for us to go and look for anything else. Really. Got a passion for the colour. We want to be at the forefront of what technology and developments there are. The secret to growing a successful crop is having good soil and the moisture probing with a multitude of sensors, linking that to a tablet that we can go around and look around on our phones to see our water efficiency and what sort of soil temperature it is. That's one of the solutions that we're looking into to help us make better decisions. GPS tracking has been a revolution for us. Now we can pretty much hill 24 hours a day and it's the basis of getting our plant establishment so good. A major thing for growing carrots is having a nice body and depth of soil. With that you need horsepower and you need to have reliability in the machinery that you're using. We usually have a small window in between rain events where where you need to get ground ready fast. By using the John Deere equipment, we can be guaranteed we're going to be there and doing the job.
