Managing Scale, Accuracy and Compliance
Glen Keeley, together with brother Jason and their parents, farms 2270 acres across two separate blocks in Canterbury, combining a diverse cropping rotation with lamb finishing and dairy cow grazing. With such a diverse operation, Glen needed a clear system to stay organised across multiple agronomists, staff and field operations. As irrigation expanded and cropping intensified, so did the complexity of chemical programmes, nutrient management and compliance requirements. Paper notes and memory alone could not keep up with the demands of traceability, record keeping and profitable decision making for this scaling operation.
