Dirt Lab

We reckon some of the most creative solutions come from diverse inputs across an industry. So if you're looking to try something new on-farm and keen to get advice and feedback from experts across the Ag industry, download Yacker and post your Q.... you might just win a prize.

A one off (maybe we'll make it a series) of our founder @HeathMcwhirter in the crop sharing details of our competition running at the moment. Check it out 👇

@YackerApp @HeathMcwhirter We vote a series for sure!

One of our portfolio companies, @YackerApp is running an end-of-year comp, kicking off Monday. If you're in the Ag space and keen to learn and share your knowledge, download the app and get posting (and invite others) to go in the draw to win prizes just in time for the holidays.

As we head into the end of the year, we thought it’d be fun to run a little competition in Yacker. Check out the poster below for details and, if you haven’t already, download the app to get yourself ready to win some prizes!

@dirtlab_vc @CharlesSturtUni @AgriFuturesAU Hi @dirtlab_vc Integration is one of a number of things the project team are looking at re where to take CLOWD next.

Finding historical weather and rainfall data for your farm is as easy as zooming in on the map with the CLOWD app, a new tool developed by @CharlesSturtUni researchers as part of a Food Agility project with #SunRice and @AgriFuturesAU foodagility.com/posts/clowd-ap…

@SonjaDominik @ceres_tag @CSIRO Game changer!

We want to talk to farmers, retired farmers, and agribusiness & rural professionals interested in investing & passionate about ag - We've launched our investment community and looking for 5-10 people to interview. Comment/ DM if you have 30min for a yarn. vest-platform.com/pollen

@OQCE_ and @telford_julia , we can't make it to the Suit Up for a Career in Startups this evening. But we wanted to ask the panel about Employee Share Schemes. Which structures are common? which do employees prefer? Vest over time or outcomes? Is a 10% pool still enough? Tax?

Awesome to have Alice, creator of Pandaemonium as part of our Investment Committee for Pollen. #syndicate #investing #regionalaus
