- We had a lot of fun presenting an AgTech seminar in Wagga Wagga today, and I couldn’t have had a better co-presenter than Pete from Farmers2Founders. There were some incredibly insightful ideas from a brilliant group of students. The future of AgTech in Australia is looking pretty good!
- Thanks to Josephine Tay and Britta Marsh from Farmers2Founders for this opportunity to discuss Agtech startups - the trials, the tribulations and the rewards. A fantastic interview with two very talented individuals.
What’s the secret sauce to getting a farmer to buy your agtech product? We asked Jock McRae what’s worked for him at Spinitek... The magic word? ➡ Yield Every farmer wants increased yield. That’s at the top of their list. Yes, they want increased soil carbon. They want disease resistance. They want a lot of other benefits, but if we're talking top of the list - Yield. We proved we can produce an increase in plant weight and grain yield while reducing the amount of fertiliser applied. That is a double win for farmers. The secret weapon? ➡ Agronomists Farmers are a wary bunch. They are brand loyal to a fault. A lot of farmers are quite conservative and risk averse with their farming practices, but we found a way around that particular hurdle - Farmers trust their agronomists, horticulturalists and on-farm professionals. The final touch? ➡ Relationships I’ll go out to their farming enterprise and assess the farm with them. Farmers love to show off what they’ve built, very similar to founders. I take a very organic journey with them. We’ll sit down for a cup of tea and a biscuit and drive around the farm to find out what their problems are. To all our agtech founders, what is the biggest selling point of your agtech product? Let us know in the comments below. If your building an agtech startup, we want to know about it! If you're curious about our programs, we've got an AMA on the 16th August.

This grazing enterprise had the pasture brought back to life after an application of [P]hragMighty biostimulant. Applied with ordinary spray equipment, we have a satisfied client and some very satisfied sheep!
- Spinitek are excited to announce our participation in the Farmers2Founders National Accelerator Program. Follow our journey as we accelerate our success and revolutionize the Ag industry! #Farmers2Founders #AgTech #Agriculture
- Spinitek is pleased to announce our partnership with South Pacific Seeds, helping combat systemic crop issues using our biostimulant - PhragMighty. SPS trialled PhragMighty on their seed onions for the 2023 season. Experiencing how Spinitek could provide the solution they needed on-farm, we look forward to the 2024 season with SPS!
- It was a great experience, travelling the Wimmera district to hear what problems Primary Producers are facing - and how we can help.
