In our first task we were given two options. I chose Option 2 which was to find an example of digital technology being used to solve a problem or an innovative digital technology. This could be a news article, a website, an image, a video or some other content. Share what you have found with a brief description in the community as to why you think this is interesting.
Living in WA with a large amount of farming area the idea of how Digital Technologies can help farmers save money and reach their full potential was of high interest to me.
An article from CSIRO about Digital Agriculture was really interesting to show how basic systems put in place allow farmers to become a lot more sufficient and highlight areas of their farming that is successful and areas that need further development and why. The visual PDF I found particularly interesting and easy to follow.

Another way Digital Technologies is impacting farmers is using GPS and Autosteer options. The idea that a farmer can set a piece of machinery to ensure consistency and accuracy, or to reduce the number of people they need to outsource for their farm is a really forward thinking concept that is now reality. This is a pretty basic video but shows the idea of autosteering.
