Local farmers and agricultural workers are invited to attend a crucial training day focused on integrating technology and innovation to enhance safety and productivity on rural properties.

The "Smart Farms Safe Futures" Ag Tech Day, presented by SafeWork NSW, is scheduled for Tuesday 14 October 2025, running from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm.

The free event will be held at the Euston Club Resort, located at 2-28 Nixon Street, Euston NSW 2737.

The initiative aims to show those who work in agriculture how innovation and technology is driving productivity and making safety easier on farms. Attendees are invited to hear from industry experts and suppliers and enjoy live demos designed to demonstrate how various ag tech solutions can help transform safety and efficiency.

A significant incentive for small business owners in the agricultural sector is that attendance at this event counts as an eligible interaction for the $1,000 NSW Small Business Rebate.

Throughout the day, participants will learn how new technologies are impacting various aspects of farm management, including:

• How drones are transforming on-farm tasks.

• How to use technology to optimise water usage.

• How virtual fencing is reshaping livestock management.

• How complex data can be turned into clear decisions.

• How to know your farm like never before with real time monitoring.

Furthermore, the session will cover how government is backing farm innovation and supporting “Farms of the future”. Attendees will also have the opportunity to find out what rebates and free ag tech is available to them immediately.

The project is supported by Wentworth Shire Council, through funding received from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.

For those planning to attend, registrations are essential. Guests are also reminded that they can come along for a free lunch included in the day’s schedule.
