UPDATE 28th October 2024:

Changes have been announced that will affect Round 2 of the On Farm Connectivity Program which provides 50% rebates for the cost of smart farming technology.

These changes mean Round 2 of the grant will close out much quicker than Round 1 so please contact us before it opens and we will keep you up to date as the announcements are released.

Farmo is an approved supplier for Round 2 of the On Farm Connectivity Program. While the round is not yet open for rebates, we are happy to discuss your connectivity needs in preparation for the opening of the round. For those intending to apply, we will not be entering any agreements of taking any payments prior to the opening of the round as the sale of eligible equipment prior to the opening date will not be eligible for rebates.

UPDATE 23rd August 2024:

Expression of Interest (EOI) for equipment providers for Round 2 of the On Farm Connectivity Program (the Program) is now open for applications from suppliers.

UPDATE 6 August 2024

After the success of Round one of the Australian Government’s On Farm Connectivity Program (OFCP), Round 2 will provide $18 million in funding to subsidise 50% rebates for the cost of smart farming technology.

Round 2 of the OFCP will broaden eligibility by increasing the primary producer revenue cap to $4 million. This will enable additional primary producers including broadacre farms and the wheat belt in Western Australia to extend connectivity on their properties and take advantage of connected machinery and sensor technology.
