In this episode, Tim Neale from DataFarming explains a new precision ag tool, weedSAT. weedSAT — a satellite-powered weed detection tool developed with investment from GRDC through the Grain Automate initiative uses high-resolution commercial satellite imagery, to identify larger, hard-to-kill weeds across broadacre paddocks. Before growers even enter the field — it enables targeted spraying using existing boom spray section control systems. We also hear from Precision Ag consultant Bindi Isbister who has been trailing the technology with Western Austalian growers with good success.
