"The IoT has enhanced my learning and my practical skills.

"We use a GPS and Trimble system to control the amount of nitrogen fertiliser we apply across the fields. This provides a higher level of accuracy in the application of fertiliser, which is important as it reduces the amount of fertiliser being used.

"The production of nitrogen fertiliser uses large amounts of natural gas and energy, therefore being sensitive to the treatment of the land with GPS and Trimble technologies helps us to farm in a way that maximises crop production without being detrimental to the environment."
