An AgriTech meetup that would make Sam Kekovic proud! 🥩 Thanks to everyone who got up early to join us at LambEx Australia, where we brought 5 innovators in the Lamb / Sheep industry on stage to share their stories of AgriTech adoption. Our meetup co-organiser Emma Leonard led the conversation, which showed that small practice changes, data analysis and a long term approach to tech is a key to success for farmers. I was also super impressed by Matt Maude from MFT Rural, who has developed his own robot for cleaning the 💩 from under shearing sheds, proving that robotics can bring huge productivity gains, and doesn't require piles of VC money. This event was supported by our meetup partners AgriFutures growAG who enabled us to partner with LambEx to get a subsidised LambEx ticket for our meetup community, Thank you 🙏 #agritech #agriculture #lambex #ausagritech
