Urgent action is needed by e-Farmer users. Please pass the word around urgently.
The e-Farmer web based farm mapping system is being shut down 16Sept15.This is due to a combination of the technology to support e-farmer being out of date and the funding by DEDJTR to continue its maintenance has ceased.
e-farmer users who wish to save their e-farmer data should act immediately and definitely before the 16th of September. Instructions to save your data are available on the e-farmer website.
You can export your data and load it easily into Phoenix Mapping. The files downloaded from e-farmer are in Shapefile format.
Funding Mistakes
In our experience, Government's invest in these online tools for the good of the target audience however once the projects are complete the products generally sit on the shelf and rarely get used. Or in the case of e-farmer where producers use "free" services and then they are caught out when the service is no longer funded.
AGDATA Australia has rode the highs and lows, droughts and good seasons, for over 31 years to provide commercial products that provide long term benefits to the industry.
If your department or organisation has a funded project or outcome that you would like to achieve; consider engaging AGDATA Australia as a commercial partner that can take the solution beyond the project phase.
