Agriculture Western Australia has initiated a comprehensive study to develop the potential of 'cutting edge' agricultural technology. There have been many innovations in crop and livestock production in recent years with the development of new technology to optimise the output of every hectare of arable land. Mr Blake said the focus of the study would be to determine whether the production potential from precision agriculture was achievable. WA probably has the most variable paddocks in the world. Our soils are the oldest and we often see five changes in soil type in one paddock and this variability is compounded by the variability in seasonal conditions.
