Recently, we worked with Ian Ladner from Wolonga Farming Co. Their land is in Branchview, located on the Darling Downs, 87km west of Toowoomba in Queensland. Ian and his family have been farming this land for more than 95 years, and they recently adopted our WEED-IT Retrofit Kit to improve their operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolonga Farming Co, operated by Ian, David and Harry Ladner, spans 1700 hectares. The farm grows a variety of crops, including cotton, wheat, sorghum, chickpea, mung bean, and soybean. The Ladners have integrated the Hayes 3-point Linkage sprayer with a 24m WEED-IT Retrofit Kit sensor spray system, supplied by Croplands and the Toowoomba Spray Shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/IMG_3246-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/IMG_3246-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/IMG_3246-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/IMG_3246-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/IMG_3246-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/IMG_3246-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ian Ladner shared his experience with the WEED-IT Retrofit Kit, <\/strong>highlighting its benefits in conserving moisture and reducing chemical usage.
