Beyond pretty green pictures -Interpreting and ground-truthing satellite imagery for farmers in the Ord River Irrigation Area

This project is about transferring readily available data into useful information that can be used in the farming operations of the surrounding farming industry to improve productivity and profitability. This means that once the main drivers for differences in satellite imagery are ascertained on one farm, they are transferable to all farms in the area. Therefore, the next steps for agricultural technology adaption in the ORIA, are having the knowledge to know what information the data is providing, then using this for on-farm decision making. On an individual farm level, this activity will help identify constraints within paddocks
