Bringing Intelligent Agricultural Solutions to Australian Farmers.

September 2024 SA Demos, BCG Sponsorship, and Precision Upgrades at Rometron Australia September was a busy and exciting month for Rometron Australia! Mark had the opportunity to demonstrate the latest Fendt Rogator with WEED-IT, alongside Corrie Eichner from WSB. Over the course of seven days, they participated in three on-farm demonstrations and represented Rometron at the Wudinna Show. Corrie Eichner from WSB Clare with a farmer discussing the added benefit of including WEED-IT with the new Fendt Rogator. All set up for the Wudinna Show in the Eyre Peninsula SA. Rometron Australia was also proud to sponsor the Birchip Cropping Group's Main Field Day in Nullawil. Our team engaged with existing WEED-IT customers to hear about their experiences and connected with farmers keen to explore ways to reduce chemical usage during the summer months. Rometron Australia were proud sponsors of this year's BCG Main Field Day held at the farm of David and Daniel Watts in Nullawil Our workshop team had a productive month as well, completing two significant retrofits. They successfully outfitted a Fendt Rogator for Jordan Hoare from Tooleybuc and a Case Patriot for Peter and Zac Nicholls from Piangil.

August 2024 Mallee magic, SA oysters, Ag Quip action & Wheatbelt glory Ryan and Neill are currently enjoying the WA wheat belt in all its glory on route to Dowerin where the annual machinery field days will take place for the 60th time this week! It's been a busy couple of months for our whole team, but nothing beats getting into the field with our colleagues and customers. The last month saw Brendan, Hamish and Mark getting out and about in Victoria, South Australia and NSW to support our OEMs and dealers at field days. The Mallee Machinery Field Days at Speed as always were a great opportunity to hear firsthand from Mallee growers. Followed shortly after by Cleve the guys experienced the windy weather and delicious Coffin Bay oysters on the Eyre Peninsula and spoke with West Coast producers. Gunnedah then turned on the sunshine and hospitality for Ag Quip with a bumper showcase of machinery and wall to wall farmers.

At Rometron Australia we greatly value the relationship we have with the Engineering team at Rometron in the Netherlands. The distance between us is no barrier to our great working relationship with a shared passion for helping farmers win the war on weeds. Weekly remote engineering catch ups keep everyone on the same page addressing the needs of Australian farmers.

We wrapped up 2022 in style having Roel de Jonge, founder and managing director of Rometron NL in Australia on farm and "on tour" with our Managing Director Brendan Williams and valued partners in Goondiwindi, Queensland. A visit from AgriTech America's managing director Adam Hutton completed a great reunion all round! Followed by R&D Engineers Youri Schoutsen and Bart Lammers earlier this year. Being Youri's second trip to see us in the last 12 months it was great to get out and about with him again travelling to both Goondiwindi in Queensland and Esperance in Western Australia.
