Summary

We take a look at the agtech product of virtual fencing with SARDI Senior Research Officer, Megan Willis and Mallee based mixed farmer Paul Roberts. Megan explains how virtual fencing is changing the way we think about managing rotational grazing for cattle using this collared technology. Trial participant Paul Roberts explains why this exciting technology is the next step in their system for crop management and its benefits for soil, pasture and productivity on farm. What are the limits, and will commercialisation of virtual fencing come to South Australia? Related podcast: Virtual fencing in agriculture with James Pitchford and Megan Willis
