The technology behind farming

From Afternoons, 1:28 pm on 6 June 2018

Those of you in rural parts of the country probably already know that this year's Fieldays kicks off next week.

It's a chance for farmers and those in the agri business to get together and check out the new tech in the industry. 

Nowadays tech is a crucial part of farming, with drones and robots integral to the operation.

To explain how some of these things work on the farm and why they're needed, is Xero's Head of Agri, Paul Churchman.
