Waiting for an auto-mate: Using robotics and automation to mitigate labour shortage stress
Harry Pye is the Owner of Gingie Pastoral near Walgett. Harry's 26,000-hectare property is split between arable cropping country and grazing for Dorper ewes and wagyu cattle. Due to the skilled labour shortage, Harry and his family have embraced automation and robotics in their operation.
In this episode, Harry explains how SwarmFarm has changed his cropping operation and the impact he believes driverless tractors will have.
Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor, Rohan Leach, caught up with Harry for all the details.
This episode is part one of our two-part chat with Harry. Join us for the next episode, where Harry discusses his sheep enterprise and why he chose to switch from merinos to Dorpers.
