A big-time Aussie invention - We love nothing better than promoting our Agricultural pioneers. Here is a snippet on Albert Fuss, the inventor of the Airseeder. Read the story below:

When Albert Fuss invented and patented the world's first Broadacre Airseeder in 1956, little did he realise that this invention would revolutionise Crop Planting worldwide. Fuss set about making a Seeder mechanism with central distribution and mounted it on a Graham Holme Chisel Plough. In 1956, the family Sowed Wheat through the newly name Gyral Airseeder near Dalby in Queensland with 12-inch rows on a 20-foot wide Machine.

They still have the number one made Airseeder at the Gyral factory, and it still runs!

North American Cropping Farmers, for example, probably have no idea that Equipment purchased from the Great Plains Manufacturing Co of Kansas was patented from the drawing boards located at Gyral's Queensland Head Office or that Australian Farmers from Western Australia to Queensland who have purchased Gason, Horwood Bagshaw, Shearer, Napier Grasslands or Simplicity are using Equipment that is or has used Gyral's Air Seeding concepts. Do you think the Airseeder has been one of the great Ag inventions? Reply to [email protected]

DelayPay for Dairy Farmers - Each year brings different conditions for Dairy Farmers down south, but there are a few things that tend to be consistent. One of those is the cashflow pinch that tends to happen in the Autumn as milk production hits a low point, whilst the need for Hay and Silage remains ever present as Pasture is kicking back into gear after the summer. Read on to see how DelayPay works for Dairy Farmers here.
