Autonomous Tasmanian Farm Harnesses Energy and YBMIT Technology to Increase Efficiency

- Will Bowden takes us on a tour of his families 15,000 Ha farm in Tasmania. As well as harnessing the power of water to generate all the power that the farm needs, Will and his family are pioneering remote management technology and integrating all fascets of the farm onto a wifi network. From algorithms that control and increase the efficiency of centre pivot irrigators through automatic starts and variable emission to calculating daily weight gain in the farm feeder pens, the farm network is increasing efficiency and lowering operating cost. More than that, the family story of multi generational entreprenurship and technological pioneering is breathtaking.

Tim...I love watching your vlogs, they remind me of Landline, ABC TV a few years ago, when they had interesting and informative Australian rural stories, and not the Lovie Dovie Ambie Pambie Wokie non farming rot they present these days... Keep up the good work, Tim...
There’s some great stuff on Landline isn’t there? Tim Lee is a man I admire and look up to. Glad you like my stuff too! Don’t forget, I’m not paid by the public purse so I say what I want to……
When i built and installed my first lorawan network I was blown away with just how powerful it was with such little amount of electricity. It is a real shame that manufactures of farm products are generally not interested in providing the information to assist in the integration of automation and sensors onto their products. You literally are forced to reverse engineer stuff, void warranties, risk damage just to get what you want.
As a lover of technology this video is certainly a favourite that I saved, just WOW 😱😱😱 !!!!!!!
love re purposing the old dunny! great video guys!
A real glimpse of the future - mind-boggling!
Great video Tim what an amazing family and property 👍
OMG, Tim, what an amazing chap and what a brilliant setup. I will have to watch this again, Cheers
Good ol’ Tassie rocks! Great interview Tim.
Gotta love a shoutout to YBMIT. Good work Harold!
Very cool! LoRa is a great technology for those of us who are handy with Arduino and Raspberry Pi systems. I've also DIY'd a few remote sensing/control integrations with a Raspberry Pi and LoRa module on my property.
Love these ideas. What a great use of technology.
Love the sharing of ideas.
Great work Tim and Will great vid and history of the farm and family 👍👍
You can never have enough sensors, just need a system to interpret it, looks like they have that which is awesome. LoraWAN is magnificent, so many options, you can have sensors monitoring sensors, its perfect for farming. Data is money and now more then ever these days when farmers needs to continually do more with less every day. Government needs to step in with grants helping them with technology.
seems like it's automated enough you could take a bunch of long naps and not have to work so hard 😜🤠
Haha…. Yeah nah….
I tried to do a similar thing with LoRa three years ago at my university and got bashed by a sonof*** teacher and laughed at by my fellow students who were doing theoretical intangible and not business oriented final projects. Because of Covid and possibly haste caused by this rejection, I quit Uni. Returned this year.
Stick with university. Unfortunately the institutions are often several years behind industry.
I’m just thinking how remote that area must be you must just drive for a couple hours and still be on the same property?
Yeah. Lots of big places over here. Great people too.
Did you visit your mate Scott Williams whilst over there? Would love to see another video 😉😉 great videos 👍👍
To translate from metric: that property is over 37,000 acres or almost 58 square miles.
It’s not remote but it’s very BIG .
You said 15k hectare. Gee whiz.. #1 automation is essentiail #2 who has that amount of land
Only people who are very smart, work hard and care for their family
