“ “Onshore processing of Australian agricultural product is paramount to the industry’s future promise and potential. While we are world lead- “ “Land-forming technologies are advancing toward full automation in agriculture, though
this innovation may still be years away. Technologies today are pushing efficiency and optimisation to new heights. A convergence of technology, research, and on-farm testing is propelling this progress. Breakthroughs in precision soil mapping, artificial intelligence modelling, and sustainable design are shaping a future where science tackles the complex challenges of productivity and resilience in agriculture.” Charles Reynolds, General Manager of T3RRA
ers at growing crops of all types in challenging conditions, we also leave a lot on the table when we simply put the commodity on a boat and ship it overseas to parts of the world unknown. The benefits, for example, of domestic biofuel production derived from grain ticks vir- tually every box from value-adding raw materials to farm enterprise diversification to providing fuel security for defence and industry. The domestic markets are ripe for those lucky enough to be able to access them and by supporting growth in these sectors, as a nation, we see greater benefits in employment and therefore economic development for those working and living in regional Australia.” Scott Merson, President of Queensland Agricultural Merchants
