We Farm & Innovate
We farm ourselves and fully understand the benefits of precision surface drainage of agricultural fields. We were one of the first growers in the world to use laser levelling in sugarcane production starting back in the 1970s. It was a tremendous leap in technology enabling the transformation of basic land into highly efficient and very productive farming operations. However, the problem with laser levelling is that you can shift up to 400% more soil than required.
Apart from the much larger earthmoving cost that this involves, it also disturbs a lot more topsoil which can have significant impacts on crop yields for decades. We continue to develop our own sugarcane farms and saw the opportunity that GPS machine control offered in solving these limitations of laser levelling. So in the late 1990s, we set about coming up with a system that took full advantage of this new technology. That is what we call Optimum Surface Landforming™ or OptiSurface™.

Poorly drained or erosion, Traditional farming techniques can fall short when it comes to achieving optimal field topography.

Nev Boland was sick and tired of farming through 'Melonholes' or 'Gilgais' on the family farm at Moonie Queensland, Australia.
“Melonholes are irregular depressions ranging in depth from 30cm to 150 cm deep and 1 to 15m across , which can really spoil your day if you are farming them in rainy seasons.” said Nev.
This creates water logging problems for crops in these areas but also delays timely machine operations for the rest of the field waiting for the ponded areas to dry out.
Also the steeper edges of the gilgais approached 5% slope. This increases runoff into the bottom of the gilgais and reduces infiltration other areas of the field, therefore reducing the crop yield of the field even further.
GPS Coordinate System Check, The GPS system raw coordinates are latitude, longitude, and altitude. And the coordinate system is called WGS84
A common question being asked is “Can I survey with any GPS receiver, and landform with another machine control system?”
Sugarcane farming is a prominent industry worldwide, providing a vital ingredient in various products such as sugar, ethanol, and molasses.
Sugarcane farming is a prominent industry worldwide, providing a vital ingredient in various products such as sugar, ethanol, and molasses. To ensure successful and profitable sugarcane cultivation, one crucial factor that farmers must prioritise is proper drainage, especially in fields with poor soil drainage. In this blog, we will explore the importance of drainage in sugarcane fields with poor soil drainage and how it can prevent waterlogging, enhance crop productivity, and safeguard profits.
