Earlier this year, AutoWeed set our sights on Harrisia cactus in rangeland pastures at Warakirri's Willaroo Farm, saving 50% on time & herbicide compared to hand spray, as part of @envirogov & @AusLandcare's Smart Farm Small Grant program in partnership with @jcu & @NorthWestLLS.

Excited to deliver new AutoWeed systems to sugarcane farmers in the Lower Burdekin as part of the Great Barrier Reef Foundation's Reef Trust Partnership Innovation Program. @GBRFoundation @envirogov

JCU will oversee the development of a smart weed spraying robot that could reduce herbicide usage on sugarcane farms in #GreatBarrierReef catchment areas by at least 80 per cent. bit.ly/33wd9Yj

This is a 3 metre AutoWeed boom retrofitted to a John Deere Gator UTV to combat Harrisia Cactus in pasture around the Goondiwindi region as part of a Smart Farms Small Grant project. We are using @TeeJetOz’s Turbo FloodJet nozzles to douse the cactus. Spraying is underway!

Is green on green technology closer than we think? In this week's podcast, we hear from @Auto_Weed's Alex Olsen about the technology & we also chat with our Southern Extension Agro Greg Condon (@grassrootsag) about a recent machine learning workshop: bit.ly/37jIv4r
