This month we held an awesome webinar with our mates at Farmbot. Founded in Australia and having recently launched in the USA (known there as Ranchbot), Farmbot is the go-to remote water monitoring system helping livestock farmers manage one of their most precious resources.
If you missed the live session and want to receive the video recording, email hello@mobble.io and we'll send it to you.
Based just outside of Rolleston in QLD, Natalie Engle is a cattle farmer and early ag tech adopter. Along with being one of the first 50 paid subscribers to Mobble, Natlie utilises PairTree, CIBO Labs and Gallagher systems at her property.Natalie’s ability to innovate, focus on data and pivot when conditions demand it is admirable and has helped her successfully navigate the farm through the 2019 droughts that “broke a lot of families’. We loved chatting with Natalie about the way she operates her farm - read this case study in full here.
Farmbot's Tess O'Hagan and I held a live webinar and demonstration this morning. We're such big fans of what Farmbot are doing with remote water monitoring, and with an integration between our two companies in the pipeline, it was a great opportunity to talk about how purpose-built technology can really make an impact on farms. Watch the recording of this morning's session here.

We’ll be set up with a site at the Australian Sheep & Wool Show in Bendigo (July 19–21), and we’d love to see you there. It’s always a great chance to catch up with farmers, chat all things Mobble and share what we’ve been working on. So if you’re heading along, come find us and say g’day.
In mid-July, we’re flying the whole (100% remote) Mobble team into Melbourne for our half-year catch-up. We're coming from three states and three countries to get in a room together and make sure we’re continuing to build the best app for livestock and farming operators.
A big focus this time around is bringing everything back to the farmer experience - so if there’s something we can improve or simplify, I’d love to hear it. Just hit reply to this email and let me know.
Onwards and upwards,
Jock
