flag A South Australian farm uses a $1,500 weather station to guide planting of 20,000 native trees with real-time data.

flag A coastal restoration project in Carrickalinga, South Australia, is using a custom weather station to improve planting and conservation efforts on a 445-hectare former cattle farm. flag With unreliable regional forecasts, farm manager Chris Taylor installed a Farmbot Weather station—developed by Australian agtech company Farmbot Monitoring Solutions—to collect real-time, hyper-local data on rainfall, temperature, wind, and humidity every 10 minutes. flag The system, costing about $1,500 plus a $1 daily fee, operates via cellular or satellite connectivity and supports planting decisions for over 20,000 native trees and shrubs, including eucalyptus, acacia, and sedges, across 25 kilometers of direct seeding. flag Since its June launch in Australia, over 100 units have been sold, primarily in Queensland, NSW, and Victoria, helping farmers replace manual rain gauges and make better-informed decisions on land management.
