Summary

The aim of the project is to generate better uptake of harvest loss monitors. Our approach is to demonstrate the benefits of this technology. Growers and harvesters will be given the opportunity to use the technology in their own machines, in their paddocks. By providing the opportunity for trialling, we’re able to demonstrate to users that the system works in their specific environment. Furthermore, we encourage other stakeholders to come out and have a look at the technology in the field and have a discussion with the current operator of the machine to get his opinion.
