TAKE A LOOK BELOW TO SEE WHAT IS IN STORE
‍

We sit down with *Marcus Rogers, Director of Turfco*, to explore what autonomy actually looks like in the field - not in theory, but in real-world application.From the introduction of Sabanto autonomous systems into the Australian market, to the operational realities of implementing robotics in turf farming, this conversation unpacks the journey from concept to execution.

We talk through:

  • What autonomy really means for the turf industry
  • The role of Sabanto and autonomous machinery on farm
  • The challenges of integrating new technology into existing operations
  • Workforce, safety, and efficiency in an autonomous environment
  • The roadmap for adoption across Australian agriculture

This episode is grounded in experience - sharing honest insights into what works, what doesn’t, and what it takes to bring new technology into the field. If you’re interested in the future of agriculture, autonomy, and practical on-farm innovation - this is where it starts.

“This isn’t a conversation about what’s coming - it’s a conversation about what’s already happening in the field.” Michael Casey - Director

CJ Baldry Adams sits down with Scott Jameson and Michael Casey to explore the next critical phase of autonomy in agriculture *responsibility, readiness, and real-world adoption*.This episode shifts the conversation from capability to accountability.

With the Sabanto Level 4 autonomous system now proven in the field, the focus turns to what matters most:How do we introduce this technology safely, responsibly, and in a way that brings the entire industry forward?

We explore:

  • What Level 4 autonomy really means for today’s farming operations
  • Why autonomy isn’t new and why perception is changing rapidly
  • The role of turf as a proving ground for safe deployment
  • Labour, efficiency, and workforce redeployment in autonomous systems
  • The importance of validation, safety, and regulatory alignment
  • The development of MCX Tech’s Farm Readiness Framework
  • Why autonomy must be introduced without leaving growers behind

This episode also dives into the broader responsibility of industry leaders ensuring autonomy delivers *real value*, not just innovation for innovation’s sake. At its core, this is a conversation about trust, legacy, and doing things properly for today’s growers and the next generation of agriculture.

"We don’t just deploy autonomy - we take responsibility for how it enters the industry.” Mick Casey - Director - MCX Tech
