Challenge	Nathan Soulsby, an agronomist with AGnVET, needed to provide integrated agronomy service to BettaCrop clients, which includes their planning, budgeting, scouting and record keeping. Rolf Malmo, a local grower and one of Nathan’s clients, was new to cropping and needed visibility into his financial performance that he could also take to his bank and other service providers. The soil around Henty tends to have a low pH, which forces growers like Rolf to be more creative. They also have a big ryegrass problem in the area. Mixed cropping and livestock operations tend to manage this quite well, but they needed a way to analyze and compare different strategies. Read More
About Customer	AGnVET Henty is a part of the BettaCrop program, which offers AGnVET’s growers a suite of integrated agronomy services to help them improve their overall results. Nathan Soulsby, a veteran agronomist with his roots in Australia’s cotton industry, is a part of this program. Local grower Rolf Malmo is one of Nathan’s clients who uses Agworld daily to manage his operation. Rolf, who crops around 800 hectares, divided between oats, lucerne, pasture, lupins, wheat, canola and barley, uses Agworld in a lot of facets of his business. He was a dairy farmer for 25 years until he switched to cropping 8 years ago. Read More
Solution	Nathan and Rolf decided to both use Agworld to collaborate on daily tasks such as planning, budgeting, scouting, making recommendations, recording actuals and performance reviews. Agworld is positioned right in the centre of the daily activities that take place within AGnVET Henty. They have been putting their growers’ maps in Agworld, so if they have a new agronomist starting, they just open Agworld on their iPhone or iPad and drive straight to the field and know where they are going. When one of the agronomists makes a recommendation in the field, it’s in Agworld and instantly gets sent to the grower and to their store, so they both know what is going on.
