The Challenge
Steve McVeigh, a cotton grower in Dalby, Queensland, was operating two geographically separated properties with a paper-based administration system. This system was inefficient and made it difficult to access critical information when needed. The geographical separation between Steve’s two farming aggregations at Nandi and Warra made the job of managing them harder and communication was key to making it work. Steve explains: “I live on one of the properties myself and our farm manager Jake Murray on the other, but of course I still drive back and forth between them both a lot.
About The Customer
Steve McVeigh is a cotton grower based in Dalby, Queensland. He operates two separate farms that are approximately 50 kilometers apart, totaling 8,500 acres, with 3,500 acres of irrigation. Steve mainly grows cotton on his farms, both irrigated and dry land, in combination with other summer and winter crops, depending on the season, commodity prices, and rotational needs. The geographical separation between Steve’s two farming aggregations at Nandi and Warra makes the job of managing them harder and communication is key to making it work.
The Solution
Steve’s agronomist and inputs retailer, Dalby Rural Supplies, were already using Agworld and recommended he join them in using the same solution in order to reap the benefits of collaborating on the same platform. Steve now receives his recommendations from his Dalby Rural Supplies agronomists via Agworld and also performs all his record keeping in Agworld. Because of this, Steve has all critical information at his fingertips, wherever he might be. Steve McVeigh now not only receives his recommendations on Agworld but uses Agworld for all his record keeping as well.

Greenhouse Intelligent Monitoring and Control Solution
Farming Orchids is the most successful form of precision farming in Taiwan, and also the most exported flower. Orchids need a specific temperature and humidity conditions to grow and bloom, and its flowering time may not be in line with market demands, so the price collapses when there is overproduction. Therefore, some farmers began to import automated greenhouse control systems for breeding and forcing, which not only improves quality, but also effectively controls the production period and yield to ensure revenue. In 2012, an orchid farmer built a Forcing Greenhouse of about 200 pings (approximately 661 Square Meters) in Tainan, Taiwan. The system integrator adopted Advantech’s APAX-5000 series programmable automation controllers to build the control platform, coupled with Advantech WebAccess HMI/SCADA software, to achieve cloud monitoring. The staff of the orchid field can monitor important data anytime via smart phone, iPad, and other handheld devices, and control the growth and flowering conditions. System requirements: In the past, most environmental control systems of orchid greenhouses in Taiwan used PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) with poorscalability and control, and could not be connected to the Internet formonitoring from the cloud. For advanced database analysis and networking capability, the PC platform must be adopted. Therefore, PAC Systems (Programmable Automation Controller) with both PLC programming capabilities andPC functions is a better choice.The environmental control of the Orchid greenhouse switches on and off devices like fan, shade net, cooling/heat pump, liquid flow control, water-cooling wall etc. It is controlled by a control panel of electric controllers, and is driven by a motor, to adjust the greenhouse temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions to the set parameters.

Precision beekeeping with wireless temperature monitoring
Honeybees are insects of large economic value and provide a vital service to agriculture by pollinating a variety of crops. In addition, bees provide us with valuable products such as honey, beeswax, propolis, bee venom, etc. Monitoring of honeybee colony health, population, productivity, and environmental conditions affecting the colony health have always been exceedingly difficult tasks in apiculture. Research has shown that even small deviations (by more than 2°C) from the optimal temperatures have a significant influence on the development of the brood and the health of adult bees.
