Tender Description
Overview
The On Farm Connectivity Program Round 3 assists Primary Producers to take advantage of digital agribusiness solutions to boost productivity and improve safety.

Eligible Primary Producers must access the program through an Approved Supplier.
About

To support equitable access to funding, assessments will be prioritised for applications where the Primary Producer has not previously received a benefit under earlier rounds of the On Farm Connectivity Program.
Funding
