Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities The Honourable Mark Furner
Farms of the future are being trialled at Gatton in a ground-breaking first for Queensland horticulture.
Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the Queensland Government had welcomed agricultural robotics company Agerris to establish its operations in Queensland and demonstrate its automated farming platform.
“Agerris’s ground-breaking Digital Farmhand has real potential to revolutionise farming, which is exciting news for Queensland’s producers,” Mr Furner said.
“In a challenging environment where growers face multiple issues including water and land availability, labour shortages, and chemical use, the Digital Farmhand is a game changer in delivering sustainable farming and food security.
