Who Are FarmPulse

Richard splits his work time between “Annandale”, a mixed dairy and sheep farm and “Seedhouse Tasmania” a manufacturer and wholesaler of bagged stock, bird & poultry feeds for the Tasmanian market. A Nuffield scholar and graduate of AICD, Richard is always interested in pursuing professional and science based approach to agriculture.

Unable to find a suitable solution to monitoring electricity use in irrigation pumps has led to Richards involvement in FarmPulse. His aim for the business is to provide simple, practical and reliable farm monitoring solutions.
