Technology use on farms

Abstract

This report provides an overview of some of the developments in technology and how they have impacted on dairy farming at an industry level as well as an individual level. The process of innovation and adoption that can be applied to farmers is discussed, followed by a review of how proven precision technology is being used in some current dairy farming businesses. Finally, two case studies provide an insight into the adoption process some farmers have employed to incorporate new technology/systems on their own farms.
