Sam founded WealthCheck back in 2005 and applies a hands-on approach to the properties his team is responsible for.

“We have to have an open mind when we are looking at new technologies because we have to find out very quickly whether they are going to be able to do what they promise they can do, and with JAIN Logic, we have chosen to go with that system because it actually does work”

Ben McDonald - Albeni Farm, QLD

Ben McDonald - Albeni Farm, QLD

Ben McDonald, a second-generation farmer, is raising over 9,500 Organic Certified Beef Cattle whilst retaining country in Rolleston and Blackall. Ben monitors water from start to finish, investing in flow meters on pipes, a pressure transducer setup on a pump, and a tank level sensor which has been set up to send him both low and high water level alerts via text message.

“It all comes down to water being supplied to the cattle when the cattle want it. We’re running large mobs of cattle on 2-3 troughs, they need to have good quality water at all times. Otherwise, their stress levels go up, if their stress levels go up their production levels come down and all of a sudden I’m not making any money.”
