Nature is still too complex for artificial intelligence (AI) modelling to be effective, but the tipping point is close, according to a new study that found the technology may still trip at the last real-world hurdle.

A  fter nearly 40 years in the ag-tech industry, I’ve witnessed remarkable transformations in how technology shapes modern agriculture and lifts farming productivity and profitability. From the early days of basic record-keeping to today’s AI-driven insights, the evolution has been nothing short of revolutionary. But where will technology take us next?

Computer modelling and simulation of crops can guide decision making by predicting consequences of crop management and genetic trait improvement options.

John Deere has announced new automation and efficiency updates on 2026 model combine harvesters that provide more capabilities and boost productivity by up to 20%* on Australian farms.

Shearwell is a leading manufacturer of livestock identification tags and readers and is now bringing to market a premium one-piece steel NLIS tag for cattle.

A wet year isn’t when you make your money in agriculture, but you can lose the most, says Charles Reynolds, General Manager of the agtech business, T3RRA.

Cutting-edge mobile technology is revolutionising on-farm decision making, but what makes agtech especially successful is when it complements farmer knowledge and links with on-farm practices, in a user-friendly manner.

From already feeding the world to now also potentially saving it, Australian farmers are in a unique position to harness advanced automotive and renewal energy technologies to both lift their on-farm productivity and profitability while also combatting climate change.
