Share-farming options for the Australian sugar industry : SRDC Final report BSS298
(2007)
The Australian sugar industry is faced with an aging farmer population, high land prices that limit expansion and a large number of small farms. Share farming and leasing have the potential to solve these three problems.This ...
Harvester best practice on-board expert system and monitoring : SRDC Final report
(2007)
Cane losses through harvesters operating outside Harvest Best Practice (HBP) are a major cost to the sugar industry. Where they exist, current information systems provide feedback to the operator only after the cane has ...
A collaborative approach to Precision Agriculture RDE for the Australian Sugar Industry : Final report CSE022
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
Strong sugar industry interest in Precision Agriculture (PA) has developed during the 2000s on the back of considerable progress with PA in other Australian agricultural sectors (grains and wine in particular), attempts ...
