Square V Software

We were thrilled to take home the prize at the Bendigo Business Excellence Awards #bbea22 on Friday night, winning the Best Professional Services Firm category! The future is bright and we're excited to continue building great software for rural and regional across Australia.

Square V are thrilled to be the recipients of not one but TWO Drought Resilience Innovation Ideas Grants - focused around research into farmsitting and drought planning. Great work to our farmer-on-staff Penny who is the brains behind the ideas!

Here's a fantastic video about myFARMSMART - a tool for farmers and their advisors to investigate and analyse potential changes to their farming business. youtu.be/XYO1q7AAfWw

In Victoria and having connectivity issues with your mobile phone or mobile internet? The state government is looking for more information to help improve coverage (which is something Square V is always in favour of). Fill out the form here: engage.vic.gov.au/connecting-vic…

Congratulations to Emma Ayliffe from Summit Agronomy on winning the 2021 Young Farmer of the Year award! We work with Emma on Yacker - because being an agronomist and farmer isn't enough for her, she's also an ag tech entrepreneur too. abc.net.au/news/rural/202…

You can find the app for Apple/iOS phones and tablets here: apps.apple.com/au/app/stubble… And for Android phones and tablets here: play.google.com/store/apps/det…

Stubble Burning App is a new tool to help farmers understand the likely weather conditions and upcoming forecast to enable them to plan their burn responsibly. The app is designed for autumn stubble burning and is an initiative of Ricegrowers Association of Australia.

Yield Prophet Lite (YP Lite) is LIVE - check it out today! YP Lite is a Birchip Cropping Group (BCG) initiative built by Square V. Its a free App that farmers can use to estimate potential yield for various crops given different rainfall amounts and fertiliser application rates.

The Yacker App - a tool developed to help farmers and others in Ag connect has just added Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP). This means calls can be placed between users over the internet rather than through mobile carriers. This is a great addition to the App.

We have been visiting the Griffith area in the last few days to learn about the cotton and rice industries and the challenges that irrigators face. It's been really interesting and we've learned a lot, plus had some fantastic Italian food!

Perks of working at Square V - we take birthdays very seriously. Here is a 2kg donut cake from the Elmore Bakery to celebrate Mark's birthday!

Yesterday was our first ever office photo day, taking some photos for our upcoming new website in the office and on the farm. Photogenic Dusty was happy to participate!

Yacker v2.0 is available now! It's been exciting to see it come together, and now we're keen to see it out in the wild. Yacker helps people in agriculture connect and discuss.

We are excited to announce that our BCG Digital Research Site is now live in its first format! Check it out now: buff.ly/2RYEcWQ

Out at the Agronomy Conference in Wagga #agron19 today and tomorrow, always keen to talk ag software and tech!

@YieldGapAus Didn't realise it would record the internal microphone in my laptop, oops :) The legend is on the right and is currently dynamic based on the rain that has fallen - the top is 26.6mm for this image. Might be able to match the Bureau radar colors in upcoming release.

@squarevsoftware I love it! Not so sure about the sound track😳 maybe replace with sound of rain on a tin roof? Also, what is the scale on the legend?

The DataFarmer Virtual Radar (still in beta) uses personal weather stations to show the last 24 hours rain across Victoria. Ideas for how we could improve this? We love feedback!
