Failure to deliver the proposed activities may result in the requirement to repay grant funds

This project plans to build the skills and abilities of all students completing Agricultural pathways within our school. Many of these students will transition onto farms across our region in the future, either as trainees, employees or future farm operators. The results of our research project will be made available to community members and presented to the Manjimup Chamber of Commerce and Southern Food and Forrest Council as part of an Agriculture, Business After Hours opportunity. Students will learn how to interpret the soil moisture data and how to use this in irrigation decisions by engaging with Curtin researchers and the knowledge developed in the On farm water demand project and the role of agribusiness data in defining the value proposition of engaging with this Ag tech to support decision making. This facilitated adoption approach will reduce some of the barriers to adoption of Agtech for the students.
