Farmacist Connect

Farm management, record-keeping and compliance app

​

Farmacist Connect, an app made by Farmacist for growers, addresses all the requirements needed for accurate record-keeping and regulatory compliance. It will eliminate the need for transferring records as the app can be used on both Android and iOS smart phones, so it will always be at your fingertips.

​

With a single app, you can keep track of:

  • Chemical application records

  • Nutrient application records

  • Irrigation management

  • Whole-farm management, including complementary and fallow cropping cycles.

  • Sugarcane, grazing, legumes and more!

​

The app is designed to be extremely user-friendly while still delivering on record-keeping capabilities. Farmacist Connect is currently in its beta phase, but the full release is hopefully just around the corner. Farmacist is also taking expressions of interest from those who are looking to start their digital record-keeping journey who would like to participate in the next round of the beta testing phase. Contact your nearest Farmacist office or talk to your agronomist for more information about Farmacist Connect and how you can join to test out digital record keeping!

Technology & Innovation

New partnership powering local farming innovation

Farmacist is excited to announce that we are partnering with Observant across all our regions to bring market leading innovative solutions to our customers.

​

Observant has a long history of innovation in the Australian agricultural sector with a range of connected solutions. These can be as simple as a standalone weather station, or as sophisticated as large fully automated irrigation systems integrated with state-of-the-art scheduling tools and crop vigor, soil moisture and weather monitoring systems, and everywhere in between. Observant's connectivity hardware is robust and reliable and is backed by a 7-year pro rata manufacturer warranty.

 

Farmacist has successfully installed the first stage of an Observant automated flood irrigation system at our Burdekin demonstration farm and are very pleased with the quality of the equipment and ease of installation. After seeing the benefits, we quickly decided to extend to a full automation system over the whole demonstration site. The system will incorporate integrated remote pump and valve control, flow monitoring and soil moisture monitoring. Installation will be completed in early 2024. We welcome growers to get in touch to arrange a demonstration of the equipment.

 

One great benefit of Observant’s solutions is you can set up a fully capable control and monitoring system on a single standalone site, without large upfront capital costs. The system can then be easily scaled up over time.

​

Beyond irrigation systems, Observant has a wide range of solutions including:

  • Water level monitoring for remote sites

  • Remote pump starting

  • Remote image capture

  • Soil moisture monitoring

  • Local weather monitoring

  • Satellite imagery for crop vigor analysis and precision irrigation recommendations.

 

If you’ve ever considered automation or connectivity solutions on your property, please contact your local Farmacist agronomist or nearest Farmacist office to discuss the options suitable to your needs.
