IMPROVING RESULTS THROUGH PLANNING Chris Booth
Most growing regions in Australia had a stellar winter crop season, but a wet finish and harvest is now negatively impacting many growers’ profitability. Although it’s not possible to plan for a bumper crop, planning is an important tool to ensure that you maximise the results within the limits set by climatic conditions. But, instead of doing all agronomic and financial planning yourself, you are able to do this together with your Elders agronomist via Agworld. Elders agronomists use the Agworld platform to create plans for their growers and with their growers, as it is Agworld’s fundamental understanding that knowledge sharing between growers and agronomists is key to achieving successful outcomes. By having visibility into next year’s plan you will be able to ensure that your plans are as close to reality as possible, making it easier for both yourself and Elders to plan ahead for the 2022 crop. With fertiliser and glyphosate (and many other inputs) in short supply around the country, accurate planning has never been more important than now. Agworld offer a free subscription Did you know that, if you don’t have your own Agworld subscription yet, you can still log into Agworld for free to view your approved plan in detail on an interactive ‘maps page’ and that you’re also able to run planning reports and see the costs associated with the plans for the coming season? The Agworld service desk is able to help you have your Agworld account activated, so that you can retrospectively view all the data your agronomist has entered into Agworld in the past, as well as view the plans for 2022. Your Elders agronomist doesn’t only use Agworld to create plans however, but also to write the recommendations that you receive from them throughout the growing season.
Those growers that have their own Agworld subscription, are able to access all their agronomists’ data for their farm in Agworld at all times and turn recommendations into farm records. So, instead of writing a spray record down from A-Z in your notebook or spreadsheet, with Agworld you just convert your agronomist’s recommendation to a farm record with a simple click of the button. ELDERS CLIENT OFFER Good news for Elders clients that don’t have an Agworld subscription yet but are keen to start using Agworld and seeing the benefits for themselves - the Agworld - Elders grower special will be extended throughout 2022. What this means for you is that you will get your first year’s Agworld subscription with ‘Plus’ level user features (normal price $2,495) for the cost of a ‘basic’ level user subscription - which is only $1,495, so you get a $1,000 discount in the first year. Getting started with Agworld is easy because your Elders agronomist already uses Agworld, your farm maps, plans and recommendations are already created on the platform; all you have to do is start your subscription to get access to all this information. And rest assured, in the meantime nobody has access to your data except for the agronomist that has created this data for you; we never sell or use your data. If you would like to get started with Agworld, give us a call on 08 6230 2290 - we look forward to showing you the benefits of Agworld and how easy it is for you to get started. *Terms and conditions apply, contact Agworld to learn more.
