What if the key to the future of farming isn't buying more land, but making better use of the land and data you already have? 

In this episode, Senior Land Services Officer Lauren Roberts speaks with fifth-generation farmer and agtech entrepreneur Hamish Munro at his property, Springwood, near Molong in the Central Tablelands of NSW. Hamish shares his journey from working across cattle and cropping on his family's large-scale farming operation to cattle trading, industry representation and developing Pairtree, an agtech platform designed to connect farm data and make it more useful for farmers and agronomists. 

Hamish also discusses why timing is everything in farming, how technology can support better decisions around livestock, pastures and inputs, and why farmers should start collecting digital records now to prepare for the future. He shares lessons from succession planning, the changing role of technology in family farms, and his vision for the next 200 seasons of Australian agriculture — where good data can improve productivity, profitability, compliance and the long-term resilience of farming businesses.
