Karcher - when hygiene matters most
Maintaining cleanliness in agriculture is vital for minimizing the spread of diseases, ensuring the well-being of livestock, and promoting workplace safety.
Nowadays, farmers rely on various technical systems and machinery to aid them in their tasks, and regular maintenance is essential to prolong the lifespan of these tools.
Pressure cleaners have long been essential for farmers to keep their premises, equipment, and machinery tidy.
Removing oil, mud, manure, and other debris can be time-consuming, but with the right equipment like a hot water pressure cleaner, it becomes easier to save time, water, and energy.
Kärcher, a leading brand in cleaning technology, offers a range of hot water pressure cleaners designed and engineered in Germany.
These cleaners can heat water to 85°C, effectively tackling stubborn dirt and grime.
The combination of hot water and high pressure is particularly effective for daily cleaning tasks in agriculture.
For more intensive cleaning needs, there are Kärcher pressure cleaners that can heat water up to 155°C, producing intense steam ideal for disinfecting surfaces.
With multiple patents covering their range, Kärcher stands out as a world leader in highpressure cleaners.
Their patented Power Nozzle is up to 40% more efficient than conventional nozzles, allowing users to clean faster and save time.
Additionally, the patented EASY!Force trigger gun reduces user fatigue by utilising the recoil force of the high-pressure jet, making it easier to clean for longer periods comfortably.
Made in Germany, the Kärcher HDS range is built to last, featuring patented coil technology that minimizes the risk of corrosion and boosts efficiency by 91%.

Darren loves being creative at Beyond CNC
Beyond CNC was founded and created by Darren Crouch.
“I run this business because I love to be creative and build new things.
“It all started with welding up the tray on my ute and building a few creative firepits for friends and family.
“I then went on to create more custom firepits which is when I decided to purchase my CNC machine.
“I now make home décor signs, custom fire pits, custom car fronts and this is where the creative side took over and our products soon expanded and the Beyond CNC brand was launched.
“Always thinking inside and outside the box for new ways to improve our business and products where we are delivering the best price and passing on quality work man ship to our clients.
Darren aims high at having one on one personal service and channelling in on custom work.
As a small business who understands that doing a custom piece for someone who is usually buying it for that someone special as
a gift, Darren likes to provide the best service.
“So, if there’s something that you’re thinking about send us a message and we’ll see what we can do to make your vision come to life,” he said.

Jelbart Dairy making business sense with Westpac
Tim Jelbart, the General Manager and Director of Jelbart Dairy, firmly believes in using data and science to make informed decisions.
Based in South Gippsland, Tim, a third-generation dairy farmer, along with his brother George, oversee operations consisting of a dryland dairy and beef business. They manage approximately 2,600 head of cattle, including 1,200 milking cows, 1,000 dairy replacements, 400 beef cattle, and a team of 20 staff.
Although agriculture is Tim’s passion, his father, Max Jelbart, was passionate about education. Max, a well-known dairy advocate, encouraged Tim and his brothers to study and work elsewhere to ensure they were grounded and willing to join the family business out of choice, rather than obligation.
Prior to returning to the family farm, Tim completed a degree in Applied Science, specialising in property valuation, where he continues to work part-time as a rural and agribusiness property valuer with CBRE. Whilst his parents had the foresight to commence succession planning, Tim’s return occurred earlier than expected due to the ill health and eventual passing of his parents.
Tim acknowledges his father as an industry leader
who explored new strategies but also faced challenges during the business’s significant expansion phase.
“Dad grew the business from 100 to 1000 cows. He farmed mostly based on gut instinct, whereas I rely heavily on data and
AGRIBUSINESS EXPERTS
spreadsheets. I’m more technical in my approach by focusing on risk management, sustainability, innovation and production
efficiencies, and forward planning to anticipate future challenges.”
Tim says not having the practical knowledge of his
dad has been a challenge, but he wouldn’t be able to do what he does without their staff.
“We’ve got the best team. There’s over 150 years of combined experience amongst us. Our staff have excellent knowledge, so that’s been a big part of allowing me to focus on the strategic business aspects whilst they manage the dayto-day tasks.”
When seeking additional industry knowledge Tim often turns to his Westpac banker, Scott Buijs. The families have banked with Westpac for over two decades and Tim values their close relationship. He credits Scott for helping them acquire and settle a nearby 200-acre property within 30 days.
“Scott is a trusted advisor. He’s someone I can talk to about reducing our risk margins and I’ll often run things past him before it gets to the point of needing to do something. He’s a good sounding board and we often just check in with him to see how we’re going and chat about the industry.”
With data driven decisions, business resilience, a good company culture and the ongoing support of his bank, the grass continues to look greener for the team at Jelbart Dairy.

Innovative agricultural plastic wrap that disappears in landfill
With the increasing issue of disposable plastic products in landfill, Biogone have developed Australia’s first innovative eco-smart silage wrapping for the farming industry using biodegradable plastic.
Biogone’s landfill-biodegradable silage stretch film and hay net feature an additive that attracts microbes in landfill, that begin to eat away and digest the plastic.
Once disposed of to landfill, the plastic will decompose up to 90 per cent faster than traditional plastics, which generally takes hundreds of years or more to biodegrade.
Biogone co-founder, Dr. Ross Headifen said, “On average, the Australian farming industry uses a mammoth 8,000 tonnes of farm plastics per year such as dairy silage wraps and covers, which end up as waste.
We are however seeing several land-
fills in Gippsland that accept silage wraps and we encourage farmers to dispose of these plastics the right way. Ideally, plastic would be picked up by local government agents for recycling if such facilities exist, or disposed to the landfill where it could biodegrade away”.
Biodegradation is slower compared to a banana peel biodegrading in a landfill, as the biodegradability of the plastic depends on the level of microbial activity in the landfill, the material thickness as well as the temperature and moisture level in the landfill.
Biogone silage wrap and hay nets are UV resistant and do not fragment to microplastics, and the landfill-biodegradable plastic has a no shelf life issues.

Biogone landfill-biodegradable silage wrap, hay wrap and hay net is the smart and sustainable storage solution for silage.

‘Fix Rehabilitator Plough’ Deep sub-soil tillage and top-soil cultivation in one pass
It lifts and cracks, aerates and penetrates like no other implement. Use the Rehabilitator Plough instead of rippers, chisel ploughs, discs, rotary hoes or power harrows.
The Fix Rehabilitator plough is designed to loosen and lift the soil by allowing the soil to crack along natural lines. The Tusk rollers till the top-soil producing a seed-bed and leaving the soil loose and aerated and able to capture and hold moisture.
Features:
l Relatively low Horsepower requirement
l Machines are available from 1.5 metres to 6.0 metres
l Linkage and trailed l Extra sturdy frame.
The parabolic tines can penetrate up to 500 mm, and are fitted with reversible chisel points. The two rear tusk rollers have a levelling mechanism and height adjustment.
Soil is lifted, the surface is cultivated, and crop residue is partially incorporated to speed-up decomposition. Often cereal crops, legumes and maize can be re-seeded after a one pass cultivation.
Most beneficial organisms in the soil are aerobic; most detrimental organisms in the soil are anaerobic. Good aeration will inhibit the damaging organisms and encourage the beneficial ones. This will be a healthier soil which will mineralise and recycle nutrients more effectively and provide a more sustainable system.
Healthy soil is the best and cheapest way to produce healthy plants. This won’t happen with toxic inputs. Soils need adequate air.
So to improve your soil and save on costly and often damaging inputs, the Fix Rehabilitator Plough could well be the answer.

A smart way to heat your entire home
In an era marked by increasing energy prices the smart Australian designed and built Newburn Woodfired Ducted heating system is transforming the way we heat our homes.
The Newburn Furnace has been heating homes across Tasmania and Victoria for more than 40 years.
Heat output is regulated by your room thermostat, ensuring wood fired heat flows via duct work through floor or ceiling vents into every living space.
Recently, with an updated furnace, Newburn Woodfired Ducted Heating exhibited at Elmore Field Days with an overwhelming response.
Newburn co director Matt Bentley said showcasing the Furnace to Farm World is the obvious next step after the positive feedback at Elmore.
“Many were unable to visit our work-
shop in Bendigo to find out more or bring family to see how this smart system works, so at Farm Day they can come and feel the wood fired warmth and see how it would heat and how easily it would fit into their home.”
“Our expert team will be on hand to answer questions, so bring along your house plans and talk to us as to how it can link into existing ductwork or be built into a house or new build.” Matt said.
This smart heating system can burn overnight without the need of stoking, ensuring continuous warmth until the next morning.
The furnace comes in two sizes, the 120 model, has a heat output of 35 kW and The larger version, the 150 model, boasts a heat output of 45 kW1. www.newburn.com.au

Women in Ag Luncheon - inspiring speakers and networking
The stories of two rural women are set to inspire patrons attending this year’s Telstra Women in Ag Luncheon at Farm World.
The annual Women in Ag Luncheon is an opportunity to hear from inspirational speakers and connect with a room full of amazing women.
This year’s lunch will feature two wonderful speakers from two different backgrounds - VFF president Emma Germano who grew up in Gippsland and Cathy McGowan who came to national attention when she won the seat of Indi as an independent politician in 2013.
They will engage, inspire and motivate women with their personal and professional journeys. Their stories are from the heart and will challenge you to think outside the box, believe in your abilities and provide some real life, day to day experiences – both the trials and celebrations.
Emma is managing director of her family mixed operation I Love Farms. Based near Mirboo North, the family operation grows fresh vegetables for local and export markets, as well as running sheep and beef cattle.
I Love Farms has a firm focus on sustainability and strives to connect with Australian consumers. I Love Farms has a farm-gate store which assists to increase the community’s understanding of food and fibre production.
Emma is the current Victorian Farmers Federation president and director of The Queen Victoria Market. Emma is also a Nuffield Scholar (2014), her research examining global export opportunities for Australian primary producers.
Ultimately, Emma strives to be a strong voice, representing Australian growers and ensuring a vibrant
and sustainable future for agriculture in Australia.
Cathy became the Federal Member for Indi in 2013 and was re-elected with strong community support in 2016.
During her time as a politician Cathy actively worked in Parliament to develop policy around regional development, constitutional change for First Nations people and a solution to the indefinite detention of asylum seekers.
In 2019 she was awarded The Accountability Round Table award for political integrity and in response to the success of community independents in the 2022 election, the Australian Financial Review nominated her as one of their top 10 ‘powerful’ people. She is the Chair of Agri Futures research and development corporation, director of the Community Independents Project and an Officer in the Order of Australia, a Churchill fellow and lives very happily on her farm in the Indigo Valley in north east Victoria.
The Women in Ag Luncheon is and an afternoon for networking in a casual and charismatic environment over a delicious lunch and a glass of wine.
So grab your friends, round up your colleagues and book your tickets online now.
Friday, March 22, 11.30am to 2pm. Tickets - $75 includes entry to Farm World, lunch and beverage on arrival (plus booking fee)

Wolf Telstra Partner
WOLF Telstra Partner celebrates 35 years of business in Gippsland this year, and now a new store in Torquay.
Shae, the owner & Dealer Principal of WOLF Stores is proud to be a regular at Farm World and has attended each year for almost 15 years, “I reckon I see up to 40 different customers every day from Thursday to Sunday.
Some of them have dealt with me, or the business for more than 20 years.
The Field Days are the biggest event on the calendar, and we appreciate being in an environment that make it easy for the farming community to deal with us”.
WOLF was recently crowned the Customer Service Award for 2023 national and comes off the back of being awarded Telstra’s Partner of the Year in 2018 and 2019 two massive milestones for the Gippsland based company.
“We have more than 80 stores around regional Australia in our group, so it’s a huge honour to be awarded not just once, but twice,” explained Shae.
“We are also expanding, now operating a new store in Torquay – our first foray into the other side of the bay.
At Farmworld each year, we usually meet many customers from the Western Districts, so it will be good to introduce ourselves with a bigger footprint.
The team at WOLF ensure visitors to Farm World get the best independent advice when it comes to all things Telstra.
For the second year running, the WOLF team are staffing the Telstra stand in the General Interest Pavilion – giving out their famous Wolf Caps, and with MR WOLF the mascot.
Reinvent The Gate
Terrance Loughlin grew-up on a sheep farm in central NSW and developed a hatred for opening and closing gates at an early age.
Fast forward 40 something years and Terrance decided to finally do something about it.
Dissatisfied with the products in the market regarding their suitability for rural applications, Terrance invented the Jimmy Wheel.
The Jimmy Wheel opens and shuts gates automatically by using a motorised wheel that is attached to the gate.
The wheel follows the contours of the terrain so, it does not matter how steep your driveway is.
The Jimmy Wheel is battery powered with solar recharging.
It has its own latch for locking the gate in place.
One big advantage of the Jimmy Wheel over similarly priced products in the marketplace is its speed of operation.
It only takes approximately ten seconds for the gate to go from closed to open.
The Jimmy Wheel is designed as a simple DIY installation to any existing swing gate.
The only requisite is that the gate swings freely.
If like Terrance, you hate wasting time with gates, consider joining the revolution and visit the Ruralbotics exhibition at Farm World 2024
Wolf Telstra Partner owner and dealer principal Shae Haefele (left) with store mascot Mr Wolf and Nick Dowdle are looking forward to seeing you at their 2024 Farm World stand in the General Interest Pavilion.
Call into Ruralbotics at site E9 and chat to Terrance Loughlin and find out about his product the Jimmy Wheel.

50 Years of Excellence, From humble beginnings in New Zealand to expanding
Award-winning heart health checks at Farm World
Attendees of Victoria’s premier agricultural field day, Farm World at Lardner Park are encouraged to get their free heart health checks at the Latrobe Health Services stand 85-87 in the General Interest Pavilion.
Latrobe Health Services CEO, Ian Whitehead said that as a not for profit, for purpose private health insurer, the organisation and its staff are passionate about good health in regional communities.
“Gippsland has some of the worst heart health outcomes in Australia, so we are encouraging anyone aged between 18 and 50 years to participate in the health screenings.
The friendly Latrobe Health team would love to check your heart health and help review your health cover
“This initiative is one way to help our members, and community check if they are at risk,” continued Mr Whitehead.
From the early beginnings of the Gippsland healthy heart study, to an ongoing community outreach program and then partnering with Shane Warne Legacy Latrobe Health has been involved in testing more than 30,000 participants.
