About Us
Our Mission
​
We save farmers money and provide them with peace of mind.
We do this by providing an on farm solution that helps farmers monitor and manage the farm. Our solution doesn't rely on the internet and allows farmers to economically use hundreds of sensors and actuators if they want to. Our platform allows farmers to bring all of the information together in one place which enables better decisions.
Our mission is to challenge the status quo by bringing strong software development capability to the agriculture sector.​​
​
Australian Farm Data Code
​
The National Farmers Federation has developed and adopted a code by which farmers can evaluate the policies of providers. We support this code, which is known as The Australian Farm Data Code.
In summary, we believe that the farmer owns their data, they decide whether to consent to the sharing of their data and they should profit from any sharing of their data. Furthermore, data is encrypted during its transmission and where it is stored both on-farm and within our data centers.
​
Please contact us to enquire further about the collection, use, storage, security, and sharing of farm data.
The Farmify team
Mark Ritchie
Farmer and Senior Advisor
Mark and his wife Fenella have been running the family grazing enterprise on Delatite Station, Mansfield since 1990. They operate on 2,600 ha running two enterprises, a self-replacing flock of fine wool merinos and a self-replacing, spring calving herd of Angus cows.
Mark holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in computing and since coming back on the farm he and Fenella have run a profitable business based on an ability to identify risks and develop management strategies to deal with them, whilst continually focusing on the main goal of improving productivity through evidence-based decision making and the adoption of new technology.
Mark has a strong interest in raising the profile of agriculture in order to attract the brightest minds "back to the farm" and sees the introduction of new technology as crucial to achieving that goal.
