Precision Agriculture Proves to Be Right Fit for Australian Service Provider

By North Queensland Register

Providing extensive precision agriculture services has proven to be a point of difference for Victorian contractor Arron Daniel, reports North Queensland Register. Daniel runs Arron Daniel Ag Contracting, servicing Gippsland farmers with baling, silage, sowing, and spraying capabilities.

He is predominately based from Korumburra, 140km south-east of Melbourne, and uses a John Deere fleet fitted with industry-leading innovation, which has proven to be a smart business decision.

“I could see there was a gap in the market to provide precision agriculture capabilities,” Daniel said. “The biggest factor comes down to cost. Using our GPS system running through our John Deere fleet I can move across the paddock at the cheapest possible rate because I am not doubling up on anything. We are also utilizing the maximum working width, which cuts down on time spent in the paddock and increases efficiency overall. Through our GPS technology, I have saved one farmer six runs, which goes to show how many kilos per hectare you can save in seed.”

However, the most powerful reason driving Daniel’s uptake of technology is its ability to help ensure his farming clients achieve maximum yields.
