About SPAA
SPAA is a non-profit and independent membership based group formed in 2002 to promote the development and adoption of precision agriculture (PA) technologies.
The association aims to be the leading advocate for PA in Australia and through this role improve the profitability and sustainability of agricultural production systems via the adoption of PA.
PA management offers many Australian farms the potential for a quantum increase in production efficiency.
Our mission is to facilitate research, extension and the adoption of precision agriculture.
Current SPAA members include those involved in the production of grains, winegrapes and horticultural crops, including growers, consultants, equipment manufacturers, contractors and researchers. SPAA's wide membership base is a reflection of the potential that is offered by PA.
SPAA has an Australia-wide focus and this is achieved by partnering with other organisations and becoming part of national and industry alliances.
New name for SPAA
At the 2009 Annual General Meeting, SPAA members moved that the Association name be changed from SPAA Southern Precision Agriculture Association to SPAA - Precision Agriculture Association.
This moves will allow SPAA to be recognised at a broader geographic area and play an integral role to the extension of PA across a number of agricultural industries.
SPAA will still offer the same great benefits and more to their members.
SPAA has negotiated a Crop Insurance Package on behalf of its members with MGA Insurance Brokers Pty Ltd. The major feature of this policy for SPAA members is the After Harvest Declaration where the crop insurance premiums are based on the actual crop yield at harvest, as recorded by a yield monitor.
This crop insurance package offers SPAA members the opportunity to: access competitive insurance rates, have their premiums based on actual yields and support SPAA. For more information contact Chris Noonan at MGA Insurance Brokers on 08 8632 5588 or Chris.Noonan@mga.com.
