Summary
This CMA supported an extension field day at Murchison House Station to demonstrate the benefits of investment in connectivity and digital agriculture on farm.
Murchison House Station is one of the oldest pastoral stations in Western Australia, owned by Calum and Belinda Carruth. The field day demonstrated how full connectivity and agriculture technology has brought the Kalbarri property into the future.
In partnership with ag-tech company Origo and with backing from MLA Donor Company (MDC) the Carruths have achieved full connectivity across the entire 126,000 hectare station.
The information technology project has unlocked major profitability and productivity improvements in the family’s rangeland goat and beef cattle business.
