Challenge	The Baldock family, who manage a farm in Buckleboo, SA, needed a tool to capture data in a one-touch electronic format that everyone could access. They wanted to know exactly what happens in the field. They also needed more reports from their farm data to make more transparent management decisions. Tristan Baldock, who had recently joined the family farm, was familiar with Agworld and its advantages for agronomists. He soon discovered what Agworld could do for growers as well, and the family decided to adopt Agworld as the data capture platform on their farm. Read More
About Customer	The Baldock family manages approximately 6,000 hectares, with a mix of both owned and leased land, and grows a rotation of wheat, barley, canola, peas, lentils and export hay. Tristan Baldock, who had worked as an agronomist for 12 years, joined the family farm full-time. The family needed a tool to capture data in a one-touch electronic format that everyone could access, so they all know exactly what happens in the field. They also needed more reports from their farm data to make more transparent management decisions. Read More
Solution	The Baldock family adopted Agworld as the data capture platform on their farm. They started to capture data in Agworld, focusing on the outputs they could derive from Agworld. At the end of each year, they were able to analyse all individual crop types through Agworld farm performance reports. This allowed them to know exactly what the operational costs and profit per crop were and use this to inform their decision-making process for next year’s crop rotation planning. They also used Agworld to plan the crop rotation and work on a chemistry plan for each field before the start of a season. Read More Log in to view content

About Customer

The Baldock family manages approximately 6,000 hectares, with a mix of both owned and leased land, and grows a rotation of wheat, barley, canola, peas, lentils and export hay. Tristan Baldock, who had worked as an agronomist for 12 years, joined the family farm full-time.

Solution

The Baldock family adopted Agworld as the data capture platform on their farm. They started to capture data in Agworld, focusing on the outputs they could derive from Agworld. At the end of each year, they were able to analyse all individual crop types through Agworld farm performance reports. This allowed them to know exactly what the operational costs and profit per crop were and use this to inform their decision-making process for next year’s crop rotation planning. They also used Agworld to plan the crop rotation and work on a chemistry plan for each field before the start of a season.

Impact #1	The Baldock family was able to capture all operations and cost them, and at the end of the year see what they spent on each field and use that for budgeting purposes in future seasons.
Impact #2	They were able to analyse each particular crop type at the end of the year using Agworld farm performance reports.
Impact #3	They were able to make decisions based on data instead of assumptions or gut feel.
