GRDC NGN Agricultural Connectivity Out-of-the-Box

Growers across all three GRDC regions report operating in “digital darkness”, limiting their ability to use telematics, automation, and data-driven tools. More than half of growers surveyed by Grain Producers Australia cited connectivity and digital literacy gaps as core reasons for delaying investment in digital technology and automation.

The NGN Grains Adopt Online Workshop is a free, two-session webinar delivered by Connected Farms as part of the GRDC NGN funded Agriculture Connectivity Out-of-the-Box program — providing practical, independent guidance to help growers and agronomists get connected.

• Session 1 — Understanding Connectivity (50 min) What connectivity means for grain farming, what technology options exist, and how to assess your situation.
• Session 2 — Choosing & Implementing the Right Solution (50 min) How to select, deploy, and integrate the right connectivity solution for your farm and machinery systems.

Attendees will gain the capability and confidence to implement fit-for-purpose connectivity solutions, improve digital tool reliability, and support progress towards automation. Agronomists can become endorsed connectivity advisors.
