Ag Innovation Series | Innovation, Agronomy & The Future of Farming with Sam Simons
Q: Where do you see the next wave of innovation coming from in agriculture?
Sam predicts advances in genetics for frost and heat tolerance, improvements in weather prediction, enhanced market access and traceability, and continued investment in energy and renewables—along with AI-driven data analysis that improves efficiency and decision-making over time.
Ag Innovation Series | Innovation, Agronomy & The Future of Farming with Sam Simons
Q: What role should government play in helping innovation?
A balanced role is ideal: some support and tax incentives to encourage risk-taking, but also reducing red tape to speed adoption. Collaboration between government and industry can advance sustainability projects and renewables, while ensuring researchers and entrepreneurs are supported to capture the benefits.
Ag Innovation Series | Innovation, Agronomy & The Future of Farming with Sam Simons
Q: Why is innovation so important in modern-day agriculture from your perspective, Sam?
Innovation is driven by necessity and the need to maintain profitability amid climate variability and input cost pressures. Technologies like precision spraying, better varieties, and automation help producers do more with less, improving efficiency and resilience in both broadacre and cotton systems.
Ag Innovation Series | Innovation, Agronomy & The Future of Farming with Sam Simons
Q: Sam, can you tell me a bit about your background and how to shape your thoughts on innovation in agriculture?
Sam Simons describes growing up in Sydney with no farming background, discovering a passion for outdoor work, pursuing ag science, and moving into on-ground research and agronomy. His career exposed him to breeders, fertiliser products, seed treatments, and trials, shaping his view that innovation comes from practical needs in farming and from close work with producers.
Ag Innovation Series | Ceres Tag, Livestock Technology & The Future of Beef Production with Jean Liebenberg
Q: Can you tell me a bit about your background and how it shaped your thoughts on innovation in agriculture?
Jean describes growing up with a family dairy in South Africa, his move into the Australian beef supply chain via feedlots and fertiliser sectors, and how those experiences shaped a view that innovation should be fit for purpose, drive data-informed decisions, and be practical enough to change day-to-day farming.
