NSW DPI Farm Tracker Reports

NSW DPI Farm Tracker Application reports are completed by users across NSW. One report provided an on-ground drought assessment in May and the assessment indicates that the area reported is experiencing moderate drought conditions

Tools for farmers to monitor and report seasonal conditions

The Farm Tracker application is freely available and can be used to help monitor seasonal conditions on your property. Completing a report allows a user to create a geotagged photo diary, monitor dam levels, or record changes at an individual paddock level.

This information provides a detailed and visual record of a farm over time that can be invaluable for budgeting, planning and decision making. The data collected for each farm is not available for other people to see or search.

Reports are also used by NSW DPI as a highly valuable information source to ground truth products from the DPI Seasonal Conditions Monitoring Program. Farmers data remains anonymous in this use.
