Grower recap of the 2017 Mingenew Farm Business Update - Katrina Sasse

I can see merit in these farming business updates. I think it's really a good networking tool. And also to get in contact with the grdc. Some of the key messages were that we're a long way from having digital farming, but the potential there is huge. One of the things I found most interesting was the augmented virtual reality using perhaps masks for people to fix machinery. Something breaks down, you put on a mask, and the John Deere remotely can direct you to fix something. I found that really interesting. I think with the increase of the size of the farms, to capture all the data is most imperative too, for the business. And the young farmers coming onto the farms are wanting to use the data more efficiently and effectively. So the smoother the transition into that, and the faster we get it, the more productive our assistance will be.
