| 14th Symposium on Precision Agriculture in Australasia - 2nd September 2010 |
| Now in it's 14th year, the Australian Centre for Precision Agriculture together with SPAA will host an annual Symposium on Precision Agriculture Research and Application in Australasia. Being held over two days, presentations from research, government and commercial organisations along with farmers/growers provide local information to conference attendees from all facets of the Australasian agricultural community.
As the interest in PA takes off nationally (and within the Australasian region) we are keen to capture the enthusiasm being generated in many new and established organisations, associations and groups.

| SPAA PA Workshops - 24th March 2010 |
| It's that time of the year again, and the team at SPAA are already planning to make sure all those yield maps you collected over harvest get put to good use. At the February and March workshop we will cover the following topics.
The basics of PA software: for yield mapping and other spatial information, how can I get into VR if I haven't got any yield maps
Prescription maps and VR controllers: making VR happen!
Deciding on your local trials: plan for 2010, who will do what
Sum up and PA knowledge survey

| Yield Mapping and Variable Rate Workshops - 16th March 2009 |
|
|
| Precision Ag and Vit EXPO - 13th February 2009 |
| View the Variable-Rate Irrigation paper presented by Dr Ian Yule from the New Zealand Centre for Precision Agriculture at Massey University. This research has shown that PA soil mapping techniques can be used to better estimate and map the soil water holding capacity under a centre pivot irrigator. This information can then be used to more accurately prescribe irrigation and inconjunction with controlling individual sprinklers along the irrigator significant savings in water of 20 to 25% can be achieved. |
|
| Header Setup Workshops - 1st October 2008 |
| Their are a range of important benefits of getting your yield monitor working and collecting quality data for mapping, particularly with the price of fertilisers, the ability to make better decisions about fertiliser applications cannot be overlooked. So if you have a yield monitor, get it working, start collecting and reap the benefits. |
