Attendee Testimonials

Dr Kate Burke

“AG's a funny thing in Australia. We've got a lot of industry segments and we don't necessarily get together very often, all under the one roof. And I just think that's the best thing about this event, that it could become something really huge in a celebration of AG and what AG has to offer Australia.”

“FutureAg matters because it gives us a place to be heard. It gives us a place to ask questions and to hear the issues we’re facing every year. It changes everything. It's everything we do, it's how we communicate to other farmers about issues that we've got, it’s how we find help for whatever's happening and it's how we increase our technology for our on-farm use.”

“It's wonderful to be here as a farmer in my own right. It’s fantastic to see the latest innovations in technology and agriculture and hear from so many people talking about the different issues affecting agriculture today.”

“It’s about greater transparency, not just for the farmer and the economy, but also for corporate investors looking at actuarial services or assessing risk in farms.”

“It’s all about the people. There’s so much future technology on display and farming-based products, and FutureAg is a great concept. There are a lot of farmers here as well, which puts it at the paddock level and makes it very practical and accessible. While we’re talking about technology, it has a real, direct benefit for farmers that they can see in their business to put more dollars in their pockets.”

“An Expo like this really lets people get into the nitty-gritty of how things work and how it might apply on the farm, and whether it’s useful.

Speaking at FutureAg was a really positive experience. For the first time I wasn’t nervous on stage - the fireside conversation style and length of time created space for genuine interaction with the audience, including a few thoughtful questions. I received positive feedback afterwards, including via LinkedIn, and made new contacts that I’ve since followed up, particularly with one of the innovations showcased at the event. The organisers were great to deal with, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable as a speaker.”

“Events like these are great for farmers to connect with industry and stay ahead in a fast-evolving space of technology and information. It’s not just about seeing what’s out there, but also about the networking - meeting people dealing with the same challenges, sharing solutions, and learning from each other.”

“Being part of the FutureAg 2025 Hosted Buyer Program was an outstanding experience. The event provided an ideal platform to connect with like-minded farmers and industry professionals, encouraging valuable and inspiring conversations. The networking opportunities were exceptional, allowing me to build meaningful relationships that will benefit our business for years to come.

The conference sessions were equally impressive delivering high quality, engaging content that addressed both the current challenges and future opportunities facing agriculture. Overall, it was a rewarding and worthwhile experience that I would highly recommend to anyone in the industry.”

"FutureAg was a great experience. We met a strong mix of farmers and growers, many of them senior decision-makers. The quality of attendees and level of engagement made it a highly valuable event for us."

“FutureAg 2025 was a fantastic event for MagrowTec, giving us the chance to engage directly with growers and hear their feedback firsthand. Farmers who visited our stand were quick to share how important reducing input costs and improving spray efficiency has become for their businesses, and many were excited to see how MagrowTec’s technology could deliver real results on their farms. 

What stood out most was the genuine interest from growers looking for practical, proven solutions. Conversations often turned into stories from the paddock, with farmers discussing challenges around drift, coverage, and rising input prices - all areas where MagrowTec provides measurable improvements. 

By the end of the event, we had not only introduced our technology to new growers but also built stronger relationships with those already familiar with it, who were eager to investigate more. FutureAg 2025 showed us that when farmers see the benefits for themselves, the message really resonates”
