More than measuring moisture ... This episode of the AgTech Finder podcast is digging into #soil probes to take a look at what technology is available now, how farmers are using it and what's on the horizon. Host Olivia Calver speaks with Liam Southam-Rogers from Applied Horticultural Research for overview on some common challenges growers face when adopting the technology, including the pitfall of installing too many probes.  You'll also hear from Medi Zaboli from Sentek and Supply Chain Manager for WA based Galati Brothers Frank Merenda, who's been using Sentek’s Drill and Drop probes in a protected cropping operation, growing Mediterranean vegetables. https://lnkd.in/gHjGbGE5 #soilprobes #sensors #technology #agtech #Agricultutre #horticulture #monitoing #remotesensing #soilscience #sustainability

You’ve collected all this #data on your #livestock, now what? It’s a common conundrum when it comes to agtech adoption, but it’s a question livestock analytics platforms are looking to solve. In this week’s episode Olivia Calver is joined by livestock agtech adoption specialist and podcast regular, Penny Schulz , who says collating data is not a new concept, but technology that analyses and visually presents that data as actionable insights, is a new frontier. This frontier is being led by female-founded Black Box Co and we speak to Black Box co-founder Emma Black about their cloud-based software which analyses data that’s integrated from the paddock, crush and across the supply chain – presenting growers with visual, data-driven insights on their cattle’s production. We also talk to Jessie Chiconi from one of the country’s most renowned #Wagyu #beef production operations, Chiconi Grazing. Jessie tells us about how Black Box has helped them collate, interpret and present a huge depth of data on their 3000 plus head of cattle. Listen now ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/ggiHzg3e

What do you remember of 2018? If you answered the listeria outbreak in rockmelons, or the needles in strawberries scandal, then you should definitely listen to Episode 30 of the AgTech Finder podcast.

Joining Olivia Calver is Steven Capell, Greg Calvert of FreshChain Systems, and Johnathon Davey of Melons Australia to discuss traceability and supply chain transperancy.
