Keeping Track of Rainfall and creating compliant spray records just became a lot easier for Aussie Farmers

Every farmer in Australia keeps spray records and rainfall records; some to make critical decisions that comply with regulations, others to fulfil traceability requirements, avoid resistance, create better budgets or to remain certified for the domestic sale or export of a crop to specific markets. A common issue for these growers is the time and effort it takes to create comprehensive and compliant spray records all while understanding rainfall variability. Two of Australia's most popular AgTech companies, Agworld and Origo.ag, are teaming up to tackle this challenge, creating a new standard for Aussie farmers.

An integration between Agworld and Origo.ag is now live, offering farmers with Origo.ag weather stations several benefits on Agworld: Origo.ag's weather station data can now automatically populate Agworld spray records, and rainfall totals from Origo.ag's on-farm weather stations are visible in Agworld. In both cases, it reduces the need for farmers to enter weather and rainfall data manually.

Simon Foley, Head of Agworld APAC, says it's a game-changer for Australian farmers: “We've gone from farmers manually keeping rainfall records and manually creating spray records, to automating this record-keeping as much as possible. In the case of spray records, farmers now receive the spray recommendation from their agronomist in Agworld, and with one click of a button, they can convert this to a spray record. With Origo.ag's weather station data now flowing into Agworld, this data can automatically populate these spray records instead of farmers manually having to enter this data every time a field gets sprayed.”

This integration means you won't need to juggle multiple apps or rely on second-hand weather info if you've got an Origo.ag Weather station. Whether it's set up on the shed, fencepost, or in the middle of your crop, your rainfall readings automatically becomes visible in Agworld. No more pen-and-paper scribbles, no more checking five different places.

Annie Brox, Managing Director at Origo.ag, says the partnership is all about giving farmers more control and clarity: “Our mission at Origo.ag has always been to provide farmers with reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use weather stations deployed in weather station networks across their farm Partnering with Agworld takes that to the next level. Now, farmers can see their hyper-local weather data directly in their planning and decision-making workflows. It's all about getting the right info to the right place at the right time.”

Getting started is a breeze — if you're an Agworld user and already have an Origo.ag weather station, you can link the two with just a couple of clicks. Don't have a station yet? Check out Origo.ag to get set up and make the most of this integration.
