And if you’re a producer in Queensland’s northern beef industry, the thought of some strategically placed robots that can detect your cattle, assess their condition, and alert you to any issues – without the need to muster a 20,000-acre paddock – must sound like a dream 🙌 An exciting collaboration between Queensland’s Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and agricultural AI specialist, InFarm, could bring that dream to life.
