Summary

The aim of this project is to encourage producers to take adopt new IoT technologies, where they otherwise would have conceded it’s too difficult. Facey Group will have done the due diligence and research to ensure a credible and cost-effective product is utilised. In addition, Facey will have facilitated two workshops in which growers can learn how to extract tangible value from their investment and use their devices to make on farm decisions. By the end of the project growers will have a support network of not only Facey Group and Origo but also each other.
