The new website can be found at the same address www.farmingahead.com.au only with a bright new look and clearer organisation to make searching for your favourite topics quicker and easier.

The website is now organised into new categories that can be found across the top of the website on a blue bar, including Machinery, Livestock, Cropping, Business, Workshop and Technology to showcase the latest news and information from the Australian agricultural industry.

The Kondinin Group Research Reports give an in-depth look at a range of topics, including farming technology, business, cropping, tractors, farm equipment and livestock. Our experienced and educated researchers independently test equipment and processes giving you valuable and instructive information. Much like Choice magazine, only for farmers.

Our new Machinery section covers the latest news and real road tests from our on-farm researchers on tractors and motoring as well as tillage, seeding, spraying and harvesting equipment.

Look out for our Insight section to get the latest opinion from Bushwhacker, see our On Farm section for the latest developments in politics and visit our Ideas & Innovations sections to see the latest farm inventions straight from Kondinin Group members.

Be sure to visit our Weather section that, in partnership with Weatherzone, allows you to customise the results for your area and view real-time satellite and synoptic weather charts.

The new website also allows you buy print and digital books from our Bookstore.  With titles such as the Field Crop Herbicide Guide and the Workshop and Workboot series, there is something for every aspect of learning about agriculture and farming processes.

See our Awards section to view past and present winners of the national Farmer of the Year Awards and when nominations open, nominate deserving farmers for the awards next year online.

Farming Ahead editor and head of research Ben White said he hoped new and existing members enjoy the new site. “Our new site represents the kind of value we want to add to being a Kondinin Group member. It’s an exciting time for agriculture in Australia and we want to be on the forefront of providing the farming community the most up to date information relating to every aspect of the industry,” Mr White said.
