Imagine being able to complete farming chores at the touch of a button. 

Not only would this help with the labour crisis but it would also help improve efficiency, productivity and farmer's lifestyles.

It could be the way of the future however, connectivity is a barrier with parts of regional Australia not having good enough internet coverage to support this technology. John Stanley chats to the Director of Charles Sturt University's Global Digital Farm, Jonathan Medway about a solution he has come up with to help solve this problem.
