SUMMARY:AgSmart Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Agricultural technology is advancing at an astonishing rate and to help keep our leading primary producers abreast of the very latest developments and innovations\, ACM Rural Events will host a special two-day event at Bendigo\, Victoria\, on April 20-21. \nThe AgSmart Expo is one of very few opportunities to experience a national agtech focussed event staged in regional Australia. \nVisitors will be able to see the latest developments in artificial intelligence\, learn about new technology in farming applications and farm machinery and equipment. \nThey’ll also be able to speak directly to exhibitors\, ranging from the world’s leading machinery manufacturers to new agtech startups. \nACM Rural Events has a wealth of experience coordinating some of Australia’s biggest field days including AgQuip in NSW and FarmFest in Qld but group manager Kate Nugent said staging an event around agtech was exciting. \n“Bringing and selling agri-tech products and services to country people and creating an opportunity for agtech companies to show and talk with the people on the land\, in a rural setting\, is something that this sector has really been missing\,” Ms Nugent said. \nAgtech is predicted to become Australia’s next $100 billion industry by 2030 and Ms Nugent said creating an opportunity to explore what’s on offer was hugely important. \n“What we know is that digital aspects of agriculture technologies can be daunting for farmers and growers – it can be difficult to know where to start\,” she said. \n“Our event also includes a schedule of live demonstrations\, seminars and a panel discussion focused on the biggest innovations in agtech to give our visitors real opportunities to engage and learn.” \nMs Nugent said the event aimed to bring together farmers\, landholders\, pastoralists and the agricultural industry. \n“This event has attracted a number of national agricultural companies\, agtech startups\, world-class universities and leading industry and government organisations who are keen to enlighten and excite primary producers about key agtech trends\, new machinery and equipment innovations\, research and education\,” she said. \n“Australian agriculture is on the move and AgSmart will place a spotlight on ground-breaking\, game-changing new technology and innovation that can bring value to the farm and to our farming families – in terms of ease\, productivity\, response to change and profit.”

After a few years in corporate farming\, he returned to Charles Sturt University as a Research Officer at the Farrer Centre\, working with a local farmer group (FM500) comparing farming systems and demonstrating the role of objective monitoring for improved crop management. \nThis work evolved to include the investigation of spatial variability through remote sensing\, soil surveying and yield mapping. In 2000 he established a spatial data consultancy. \nOver its 19 years of operation\, Jon worked on over 2500 projects across Australia and Internationally\, providing services to family and corporate farms\, industry\, research organisations and government agencies. \nAs Senior Research Fellow – Spatial Agriculture\, Jon is building the research capacity of the Gulbali Institute for Agriculture\, Water\, and Environment with projects including the Charles Sturt Digital Twin Farm and Cool Soil Initiative. \n  \nBruce Grady is an experienced senior executive and leader across a range of industries. He is highly regarded for his collaborative approach to crisis and disaster management. Bruce has years of experience working in the public service and in leading emergency responses to natural disasters such as floods and cyclones\, particularly in his home state of QLD. He has a keen interest in how technology is being applied in the real world to help make our lives easier\, safer and more productive. \nBruce Grady is the business development manager for FloodMapp\, a world-first flood modelling solution\, purpose-built for flood intelligence and forecasting. Aimed at improving safety and preventing damage\, FloodMapp provides highly accurate\, real-time\, location-specific and dynamic flood inundation and depth insights for businesses exposed to flooding. \nFloodMapp combines big data analytics\, automation and machine learning techniques with novel hydrology and hydraulic models to achieve large-scale\, rapid flood modelling. Their proprietary technology reads in real-time and forecasted rainfall and river height data\, which their models use to estimate predicted peak river heights and generate inundation mapping at scale.Using the highest quality elevation data available\, FloodMapp models the inundation extent and depth of an impending flood event up to 7 days prior with instantaneous updates to the prediction to reflect changes in the real-time data inputs. \n  \n \nJames Walker is the founder and director of farm finance service AgriHive.
