The Australian Macadamia Society uses AgTech through weather stations, sensors, and soil moisture probes across growing regions in Queensland.
"Agricultural Equipment Technicians diagnose, repair, modify, overhaul, service and maintain some of today’s most technologically advanced machines—tractors, combines, cultivators, seeders, sprayers. If you like working with ag equipment and troubleshooting mechanical problems, it’s a great career choice."

The future is upon us. Brian & Darren talk about the growth of the auto-steer and autonomous tractor technology. Soon you could see a tractor without a driver on a farm near you.
Drones are changing the way people farm in much of the world, but the technology is just beginning to make its way into US Agriculture. Today we take a look at how people will be using their drones on the farm in 2023.
FarmBeats, a new agriculture research project developed by Microsoft, uses solar-powered white space-based Internet connectivity to record soil temperature and moisture levels and track them with cloud-based computing models. FarmBeats enables data-driven farming in remote areas by using inexpensive monitoring equipment, including cameras, to help increase the food yield of farms.
GRoW is an advanced robot made for precision greenhouse harvesting. This machine will autonomously move throughout the greenhouse scanning and choosing vegetables ready to be picked from the vine. GRoW moves up and down the rows of the greenhouse unmanned and then is driven to the next row via a phone app. The phone app also lets you configure which ripeness to harvest and where on the vine to make the cut. GRoW will record and predict productivity to ensure optimum performance.
