Agtech Fundamentals Training Course

The “Monitoring your farm with Agtech” course is available online or face-to-face and is a great introduction for those looking at taking the first step in learning about Agtech.

The course focuses on the process of developing a farm business Monitoring Plan including a farm map, identification of pain points and addressing connectivity and Agtech device needs.

Monitoring Plans act as a tool to assist farmers in finding farm connectivity and Agtech device solutions.

The course aims to develop knowledge and skills in:

• Farm planning with Agtech
• Identifying what Agtech solutions are available
• Understanding connectivity needs
• The benefits of monitoring a farm with Agtech

This training is a valuable opportunity for farmers to review the needs of their properties and establish the know-how to plan and integrate optimal connectivity and Agtech on their farms.
