Know your zones for VRT – Pinnaroo

The precision agriculture journey starts at the upcoming VRT farmer workshop! Led by technical experts Sean Mason and Peter Treloar, participants will experience an interactive and hands-on session tailored to their individual situations. Not only will they learn to create or utilise their own data layers, but also understand how to generate soil zones within paddocks, decide on variable rate fertiliser application, and gain the confidence to utilise prescription maps in machinery. With so much support on offer, this opportunity is not one to be missed – register now and prepare yourself for a fulfilling precision agriculture journey!

Each participant will use their own data therefore your paddock location will need to be provided before the workshop.
