Challenge	Erin Vale Farming, a 7,500-hectare farming operation in Australia, was facing communication challenges due to its large scale. The operation is run by Matt and Dan Lane along with several staff members and an agronomist. The increasing difficulty in communication among the different stakeholders was becoming a significant issue. The size and variety of the farming operation necessitated a streamlined communication system to avoid costly mistakes. The need for accurate data and reports for budgeting and cost control was also a major concern for the operation. Read More
About Customer	Erin Vale Farming is a large-scale farming operation based in Australia. The operation spans 7,500 hectares, including 620 hectares irrigated with bore water. The farm is run by brothers Matt and Dan Lane, who took over from their parents, Gerry and Jan Lane. The Lane family grows a combination of summer and winter crops and also runs some sheep. Their summer crops include corn, soybeans, and irrigated lucerne, while wheat, barley, canola, and lentils are grown during the winter months. The size and diversity of the operation necessitate efficient communication and data management systems. Read More
Solution	To address their communication and data management challenges, Erin Vale Farming implemented Agworld in 2014 as their Farm Management Platform. They connected their account with their Agronomist as well as with all their John Deere machinery and certain key employees. The platform simplified communication with employees and the agronomist, allowing for streamlined information flow and immediate adjustments to recommendations. The platform also facilitated the creation of farm records, enabling accurate budgeting and cost control. Additionally, the platform was used to tackle hard-to-control weeds through variable rate scripts, demonstrating the value of digital technology in addressing farming challenges.
