Breaking Free from Chemicals: A New Path for Australian Farmers

“Our BROOKFIELD machine is doing a marvellous job. It’s really an unbelievable machine! – has saved me thousands of dollars and turned hopeless land into something profitable.”

M WAGNER, SPRINGSURE, QLD

The Challenge: Chemical Resistance and Rising Costs

  • Over 60% of ryegrass populations are resistant to one or more herbicide modes of action
  • Herbicide resistance costs growers $103 million AUD per year
  • Chemicals are now detected in 55% of monitored waterways and up to 60km offshore
  • Farmers spend more than $1.5 billion AUD annually on herbicides
  • Legal risks and buffer zone requirements add even more complexity to spraying

The old ways aren’t working, and farmers are paying the price.

Farmers like Garry from NSW are seeing major results:

“I bought 3 machines a few years ago for weed control, and they have since saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars in chemical. Couldn’t possibly recommend any better investment for a farmer in this day wanting to make money”

  • Improves soil structure & microbial activity
  • Manages stubble to reduce weed seed banks
  • Reduces spray drift risk and eliminates timing issues
