🟢 Wednesday's Club Notes (Free)

This is exactly it. It’s probably the most important part of this type of Farmer get-together day. It’s the debrief afterwards. It’s where Farmers learn from each other. It’s where Farmers compare notes. It’s where Farmers gain confidence about what they are doing - Around 60 growers joined the new SwarmFarm AutoFill system in action alongside the SwarmBot platform and WEED-IT | Powered by Rometron integration. But the best part of the day wasn’t the demo itself. It was the conversations afterwards. Farmers standing around talking about: 👉 Running longer hours without extra labour. 👉 Reducing fatigue during Spray windows. 👉 Smaller, lighter systems instead of bigger. Machines. 👉 What Farming could look like 5–10 years from now. That’s the exciting part about this industry right now. Agriculture is starting to rethink assumptions that have existed for decades.

Our latest writings:

We state the best things we did at the start of the 4 businesses we have been involved in and are involved in. This one made me think hard.

Is having your own branded products derived from the things you produce the ultimate? Or is it something you grow that gets identified as a product in someone else’s brand?

Good advice about good advice. The very best Farmers are happy to pay for advice, but only if it's good. We example one Farmer who spends $170k on buying brains.

We track one businessman who has built a strong business by making a series of mistakes. The sort of mistakes any of us can make.

Us, the older and more experienced brigade in Ag, have an obligation to keep encouraging the young ones that there is plenty of incentive to be involved in Ag.

If you have something you want to sell to Farmers there is no better way than to do it by demonstration. There was a great example just recently.

Our young star contributor, Caleb Schwartz, writes a great article about “The Pause”. I so want to learn how to best use "The Pause".

We have a Farm inputs-related procurement idea in which our Farmer Subscribers would be incentivised to purchase early.

We had a Farmer who’s Crops are too advanced. He is looking to potentially retard them somehow. It’s the perfect storm.

Cutting and splitting wood is either something you love or hate. Do you possess the Woodcutting/splitting gene?

Guest contributor Michael Bagshaw writes about how Agtech is done in Ukraine.

Have a great Wednesday, and keep learning from each other.
