CropLogic™ CropLogic™ is an award-winning global digital ag-tech company specialising in soil moisture management solutions. Our vision is to be the leading provider of powerfullysimple actionable intelligence designed for growers to better manage water usage and to enhance crop performance, profitability and sustainability. Our scientific and agronomy roots originated in New Zealand. Stemming from intellectual property from the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research, CropLogic™ was founded in 2010. We embarked on a quest to answer our guiding principle - “How can we create an intuitive tool that complements growers’ on-the-ground knowledge?” We started the journey to develop a solution designed to provide actionable in-field information that is accurate, concise and easy-to-use. Leveraging 30 years of plant performance data and analysis with over 600 field trials conducted with farmers across a variety of crop and soil types - CropLogic™ realTime was born. A soil moisture management and decision support tool, CropLogic™ realTime is a software and hardware solution designed to help growers make performance-enhancing irrigation and agronomic decisions at the click of a button. Our realTime GrowerView simple-to-use desktop dashboard and app (Android and iOS) enables farmers to measure, monitor and track soil moisture, soil temperature, irrigation and rain events, and evapotranspiration, allin-the-one place. Our accurate and concise insights are presented in an intuitive format – helping farmers better understand and manage soil moisture levels. A powerful tool for early detection and intervention, our realTime Farm Manager map presents a birds’-eye view on the status of the farms’ irrigation levels – providing growers with daily in-field information

designed to help minimise threats to crop performance. Combined with easy-to-install, reliable and effortlessly re-locatable sensor units, soil moisture data is collected 24/7 via dependable and constant satellite connection - CropLogic™ realTime offers powerfully simple, actionable in-field intelligence for soil moisture management. With a growing demand for global food production, CropLogic is committed to work with researchers, farmers, agronomists and other stakeholders in creating solutions that inspire sustainability, productivity and profitability. In 2017, we joined the Mildura Regional Development Smart Farm project, a collaboration with Sprout X, Mildura Regional Development and the Victorian government.
