Agriculture & Primary Industries
Decision tools, knowledge hubs, and farmer-facing systems. Built in Adelaide, designed for adoption from day one.
Problems we see in agriculture
Decades of trial data, fact sheets, and extension resources sitting in documents no one can search, filter, or build on.
Drought Fund milestones, NRM reporting, grant acquittals, all tracked in spreadsheets that one person understands and everyone dreads.
NDVI imagery, soil data, and weather feeds exist, but nothing connects them to paddock-level decisions for individual growers.
Farmer wellbeing and extension programs running on email and manual follow-up instead of purpose-built delivery systems.
The work
Real platforms, real growers, real country. Built for adoption, not just delivery.
Satellite-driven agronomic intelligence: Google Earth Engine, multi-source imagery, rainfall, soil mapping and NDVI, cross-referenced with real soil chemistry to inform land management.
Agrisolve · Google Earth Engine · NDVI
An interactive diagnostic helping land managers identify and respond to dryland salinity. Complex conditional logic presented as a guided pathway, research made actionable.
Research-to-practice pipeline. Structured content, regional filtering and decision tools, so producers find what they need without reading a 200-page report.
A 5-module mental-health intervention for farming communities, built with the University of South Australia under ethics approval. Conditional pathways, automated comms, research-grade reporting, and now Suicide Prevention Australia accredited.
Why Redshift for agriculture
A family with 40 years in agronomy and research into how farmers actually adopt technology. We didn't arrive at agriculture through a sales pipeline, we grew up in it, and it shapes everything we build.
Our agricultural work is concentrated in the SA Mallee and surrounding regions. We understand the landscape, the institutions, and the funding environment.
NDVI, Mallee Seeps, gross margins, soil amelioration, NRM reporting, Future Drought Fund acquittals. We've built tools for all of it, and we don't need your team to translate.
Lightweight interfaces, fast load times, and architecture that doesn't assume broadband. Your data stays onshore, hosted in Australia, encrypted at rest.
Frequently asked
Yes. We've built platforms for Mallee Sustainable Farming over multiple years, delivered a satellite vegetation analysis tool, created a Future Drought Fund knowledge hub, and rebuilt a farmer mental health platform. We know what NDVI means, we know what a Mallee Seep is, and we know what an NRM acquittal involves.
We've delivered projects funded by the Future Drought Fund and partnered with organisations reporting to GRDC, Landscape SA, and SA Drought Resilience Hub. We understand milestone-based delivery, acquittal documentation, and the specific accountability requirements of public funding.
Most of our agricultural clients aren't. We translate between farming operations and technical requirements — that's the job. You describe the problem in your language, and we build the solution without asking you to learn ours.
Yes — we design for regional and rural conditions from the start. Lightweight interfaces, sensible caching, and architecture that doesn't assume broadband. The Agrisolve platform serves farmers across the SA Mallee. Connectivity is a design constraint, not an afterthought.
In Australia. We host on Australian cloud infrastructure with data encrypted at rest. No offshore storage, no third-party data sharing. For government-funded programs with specific compliance requirements, we're happy to walk through the architecture.
Fixed-price quotes after discovery. No hourly surprises. Retainers for ongoing support are monthly, flat-rate, and cancellable. We scope agricultural projects carefully because the funding structures demand it.
Short absences don't touch your project — hosting, backups, and milestone reporting run on standard cloud infrastructure and don't depend on anyone being at a keyboard. A longer absence is what we plan for: the senior specialists we already work with can step in and carry delivery, the code is documented for handover, and you own the code and the accounts. Worst case, any capable developer could pick it up without starting again. We build every project as if we might have to hand it over tomorrow.
Yes. We're happy to connect you with people at MSF or other agricultural partners who can speak to the work directly. Just ask.
