Tender Description

⁠⁠⁠Overview

The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) is seeking a suitably qualified delivery partner to design, coordinate and implement the next phase of the Grain Automate Extension Program.

About

Grain growers are increasingly exposed to automation, autonomy and digital farming technologies, yet adoption is often constrained by limited readiness, capability and confidence to implement these systems effectively. This investment builds on the successful establishment of the Grain Automate Hub and earlier extension activities.

Purpose

Objectives

  • Enhance grower capability in automation, autonomy and digital farming technologies
  • Support informed investment decisions by growers
  • Accelerate the adoption of automation-enabled farming systems that improve productivity, labour efficiency and whole-farm performance

Scope

The scope includes:

  • Nationally coordinated workshops
  • Demonstrations
  • Digital learning resources
  • Readiness tools
