Mudgee's Lowe Wines becomes Australia's largest winery to go off-grid

In short:

A Mudgee winery has become the largest of its kind in Australia to go completely off the electricity grid. 

More than 400 solar panels power the cellar door, winery, machinery, processing plant, and restaurant.

What's next?

An energy economist says the rising cost of electricity has triggered more people to use off-grid systems.

A Mudgee winery has become the largest in Australia to operate its business entirely off the grid.

Lowe Wines operates its vineyard, winery, cellar door, and restaurant on a solar and battery system. 

Director and chief winemaker David Lowe said high electricity costs and supply issues drove the move, which had been transformative for the business. 

"Before, I was actually managing the power usage. You couldn't turn an oven on or a fridge on without something else being turned off," he said.

"It was really a day-by-day, seven-day-a-week monitoring of our power usage, but the trouble was that I didn't know how much power we were using; I only knew when it was a problem."

Mr Lowe said the business was now cash positive when it came to its monthly power bill.

He said the off-grid system could withstand even the most strenuous events on site.

This included watering systems for crops, lights, considerable refrigeration, heating, crushing and processing equipment, large motors, and dishwashers.

"We had a wedding for 160 people on Friday night. We had 130 on Saturday night. We also … had about 300 paying customers to visit us. The restaurant was full, our bases were loaded, and I tell you what, I loved it. I love this machine," Mr Lowe said. 

"We're not a small business — we employ 65 staff here, so we make this place work. It's a very, very important part of agritourism. 

"The future's very bright, but without power, the whole place would have shut down."

Mr Lowe said the off-grid system was the final piece of the puzzle.

"We have our own factory, we have our own food processing plant, we have our own winery, we have our own restaurant. Now we have our own energy source," he said.

"I feel like I'm in control. I feel like we're managing our own business. Before, we were captive."

Early challenges

It has not been an easy process, however. 

After first installing some solar panels a few years ago, Mr Lowe found his energy costs were still $9,000 a month. 

He eventually discovered that about 40 per cent of his panels had been installed incorrectly, and it was at that point that he decided to increase the number of panels to run off-grid.

Greg Todd, director of SPS Solar and Water in Mudgee, the company that installed Lowe Wines's off-grid system, said it was clear Mr Lowe was exasperated.

"For years, David had problems with insufficient power to the property, and he'd been told the answer to that was bigger poles and wires," Mr Todd said.

"More money spent and then still paying a power bill, so we came up with a solution to create a full off-grid system."

The system consists of 414 solar panels at 265kW, as well as 1.2MWh battery storage.

A common trend

Victoria University Victoria Energy Policy Centre director Bruce Mountain said more people were switching off the grid due to frustration with supply and rising electricity prices.

"The price of battery and solar has come down, and as a consequence, it's now economically attractive," he said.

"It started out just solar, and then it's become solar plus storage, and integrating solar plus storage and sometimes diesel backup is leading to individual customers going off-grid and often little micro-grids."

Professor Mountain said off-grid systems were immune to power outages caused by downed powerlines.

But he said up-front costs could turn some agricultural businesses off the option.

"They need to be able to ensure they have enough supply for sequences of dark days, possibly weeks in winter, and so they need to ensure they have adequate solar supply for that and then the power capacity in the backup battery," he said.

Mr Lowe said his biggest concern was his curious donkeys potentially damaging his solar panels. 

But a simple paddock move could be the solution. 

"I absolutely recommend this to anyone who's in agriculture … who's got lots of land, just to have the panels pointing in the right direction. And for me, the sun is still free," he said.

Pay In-Time Finance

This week, the Reserve Bank of Australia once again held the cash rate steady. While some were hoping for a cut, the decision shows that rate relief isn't coming anytime soon. That means borrowing costs will stay where they are—and the smart move is to act now, while things are stable.

On the farm front, a rise in input costs is quietly eating into margins. Pumping, hauling, and irrigation maintenance are meaningfully more expensive in many regions this year, meaning working-capital pressures are real—and urgent. At the same time, Australian livestock farms are seeing the fallout of FY 2023-24 financials: average beef farm profitability is down, and many sheep enterprises posted substantial losses. In short, the upside may be there, but the risk is also increasing.

There’s also a strong signal in emerging capital flows. Big farm businesses and funds are accelerating investment into sustainable and natural-capital assets. For producers, this means markets are shifting—not just in what they grow or run, but how their assets are valued, how they borrow, and how their income is assessed.

So where does that leave you?

Now is the moment to secure finance—not later. With rates stuck, delays and higher costs may bite. Whether you’re looking to refinance existing debt, line up working capital for the next season, or structure your borrowing around changing input pressures, timing matters.

At Pay In Time Finance, we’re working with farmers to build flexible lending solutions that match this moment: locking in competitive rates before markets reprice, creating repayment buffers for input-heavy months, and structuring facilities that recognise both the upside and downside of operations.

Getting funding now makes a difference—whether you’re prepping for next season, managing rising costs, or positioning your business for change.

INPUTS & COMMODITIES

Confidence in Australia’s farming sector has lifted

Across the nation, confidence in the performance of the agricultural economy increased during the quarter, with just over a third of farmers (35 per cent) predicting farm business conditions to improve over the next 12 months, up from 29 per cent with that view in the previous survey. 

Those expecting conditions to worsen had fallen to 21 per cent (from 29 per cent previously). And the survey found 41 per cent of the nation’s farmers expect conditions to remain unchanged.

The Rabobank survey found farmer confidence increased in all states, with Tasmania maintaining the highest confidence levels.

And confidence grew across all the commodities, with sheep farmers now having the highest confidence, followed by beef producers. 

Sentiment was found to be lowest among cotton, grain, and sugarcane growers, with more taking a negative than a positive outlook on the agricultural economy in the next 12 months.

Rabobank group executive for Country Banking Australia, Marcel van Doremael, said the overall improved sentiment seen in the farming sector was based on generally strong commodity prices for livestock farmers, coupled with improving seasonal conditions that had been seen in many parts of the country. 

The survey, completed last month, found the increase in confidence was primarily driven by rising commodity prices (nominated as a positive factor by 50 per cent of respondents, up from 47 per cent last survey) and good seasonal conditions (for 49 per cent, up from 47 per cent). A further 26 per cent of farmers expect overseas markets/ economies to have a positive influence in the 12 months ahead (up from 14 per cent).

“Australia’s beef and sheep producers have been buoyed by relatively consistent and robust prices – driven by strong international demand – throughout this year,” Mr van Doremaele said. “And while softer prices for cotton, grain and sugarcane are holding back sector confidence, growers are hoping average to above-average crop yields will go some way to offsetting the weak markets.” 

Despite improved confidence, farmers’ concerns surrounding government intervention/policies and high input costs remained high, at 39 per cent and 37 per cent respectively, the latest survey found. 

Drought also remained a worry for 33 per cent of those surveyed, while overseas markets/economies and falling commodity prices were each nominated as concerns by 24 per cent. 

Mr van Doremaele said Queensland, northern NSW, and WA had, for the most part, been enjoying good seasonal conditions, while farmers in Victoria and South Australia had been hoping for rain through the spring. “Late winter and early spring rainfall across much of south-eastern Australia was appreciated by farmers and lifted spirits in the short term. However, many regions, particularly in Victoria, have not yet reached their average rainfall levels, and farmers remain hopeful for additional rain in the coming weeks.” 

States 

Tasmanian farmers continue to hold the highest levels of confidence in the nation. Over the last quarter, sentiment among Tasmanian farmers has continued to improve, with the state’s net rural confidence index reaching 34 per cent compared with the previous quarter, where it sat at 23 per cent. 

“Improved seasonal conditions leading into spring, along with key commodity prices holding steady, have been driving confidence in Tasmania, although there is variation in the outlook based on regions and commodities,” Mr van Doremaele said. 

Sheep producers have led a lift in Victorian farm sentiment and are the most optimistic commodity sector in the state, with Victoria’s overall net rural confidence rising to 21 per cent, up from seven per cent last survey. 

Mr van Doremaele said the sheep sector’s positive outlook has been supported by robust sheep and lamb prices, as well as some improvement in fine wool prices, alongside expectations of improving seasonal conditions at the time the survey was taken.

“However, many Victorian livestock producers are worried about slipping back into drought conditions,” he said. “And Victorian grain growers are closely watching rainfall going into harvest.”

Mr van Doremaele said hopes of another above-average winter crop harvest – potentially among the largest on record – had boosted the optimism of Western Australia’s farmers, with the state’s rural confidence tracking up in the latest quarter. 

The survey found net farm sector confidence in WA had climbed to a neutral reading, sitting at zero per cent, up from -6 per cent last survey. 

Queensland beef producers are driving a lift in the state’s rural confidence, seen in the most recent quarter. A combination of favourable seasonal conditions in key beef-producing regions, strong global beef markets, and robust local prices was the chief reason for optimism among Queensland cattle producers. 

The survey found sentiment among Queensland primary producers overall had risen to net 10 per cent (previously -2 per cent). 

Rural confidence had edged up in South Australia; however, “most farmers are sitting on the fence as they take stock of seasonal conditions, the outlook and the market,” Mr van Doremaele said. 

SA’s rural sentiment index shifted to a net eight per cent, increasing from three per cent last quarter. This sees confidence turn around after dropping significantly in winter. 

Mr van Doremaele said for New South Wales, improving seasonal conditions in parts of the state – combined with solid livestock commodity prices and positive international market indicators – were the main factors shown to be behind a jump in farmer confidence in the state. 

The survey found NSW farmer sentiment had jumped to a net 15 per cent (up from -8 per cent in the previous survey).

Commodities 

Confidence levels increased across all commodity sectors, the latest Rabobank survey found. 

Sheep producers now have the highest confidence of all Australian farmers, with net confidence doubling over the last quarter to 31 per cent (was 14 per cent). Commodity prices, good seasonal conditions, and optimism around international market opportunities were cited as key positive drivers for this sector. 

Lamb prices continue to hold at very high levels, Mr van Doremaele said, which is contrary to a more normal seasonal downward trend as new season lambs hit the market at this time of year. 

Confidence among beef producers has continued to grow, to a net 27 per cent, up from 22 per cent when surveyed previously. Better seasonal conditions were the primary driver of positive sentiment among surveyed beef producers, along with commodity prices and the strength of overseas markets/economies. 

“Rain early in the year across key beef-producing regions in Queensland and northern New South Wales provided good pasture for beef producers in those areas,” Mr van Doremaele said. “And with the potential of the herd rebuild in the United States reducing its beef supply – along with lower beef import volumes coming in from Brazil – US imported lean trim prices may continue to remain high, supporting Australian prices and sustaining producer confidence.” 

Grain sector confidence also increased in the latest quarter, although it remains in net negative territory, sitting at -18 per cent, up from -24 per cent last survey. 

Seasonal conditions were the leading cause of positivity cited by grain growers, while they were concerned about input costs, government intervention/ policies, and falling commodity prices. Mr van Doremaele noted the survey had primarily been completed prior to the recent softening in grain prices. 

“Despite these concerns,” he said, “Australia is forecast to harvest a larger winter grain crop this year.” This growth outlook is underpinned by above-average rainfall received across key grain-producing regions through the season, most notably in Western Australia and northern New South Wales. 

Sentiment strengthened for dairy farmers, rising to a net 19 per cent, from seven per cent in the previous quarter. Optimism about milk prices, seasonal conditions, and international markets was the factor nominated by dairy farmers.

Mr van Doremaele said dairy farmers were currently benefiting from favourable milk prices; however, they continue to encounter difficulties in securing labour. As a result, many farmers are opting to invest in advanced infrastructure, including robotic dairies, lane systems, and feed pads to enhance production and mitigate reliance on manual labour. 

Sugar producer confidence has risen over the last quarter, with the net index now at -15 per cent (from -39 per cent previously). The latest survey found 56 per cent of sugar cane growers surveyed have concerns over rising input costs and 52 per cent falling commodity prices (albeit down from 64 per cent and 27 per cent respectively in the previous quarter). 

“Despite concerns,” Mr van Doremaele said, “growers are cautiously optimistic, with the 2025 season showing signs of improved production. However, global prices have dipped over recent months, creating some concern for the coming year. And flooding earlier this year wreaked havoc on some key cane-growing areas in north Queensland, with the impacts affecting crush yields.” 

Cotton farmers are feeling marginally more confident than last quarter, with an increased net confidence index of -27 per cent (up from -32 per cent). However, sentiment among other commodities is stronger, leaving the cotton sector with the lowest confidence across the board. 

“Cotton prices continue to face downward pressure,” Mr van Doremaele said. “The overarching theme behind recent price action appears to be very strong global supply, namely from Brazil.” 

Investment and income expectations 

In line with the overall lift in confidence among the nation’s farmers, investment appetite improved again in the latest survey, continuing an upward trend seen since a low point in December 2023. 

The survey found that while the number of farmers planning to increase on-farm investment in the next 12 months remained stable (at 29 per cent), those intending to wind back on-farm spending declined to nine per cent, from 13 per cent previously. A total of 61 per cent expect to keep investment at the current rate. 

Mr van Doremaele said Australian farmers continued to “prioritise enhancing the productivity and profitability of their operations by adopting innovative technologies and practices to achieve greater efficiency”. 

On-farm infrastructure (such as fences, yards, and silos) remains the top ‘capex’ planned – by 67 per cent (up from 63 per cent last survey), while 43 per cent were intending to adopt new technologies (up from 37 per cent) and 37 per cent to invest in new plant/machinery (up from 32 per cent). 

Nationwide, 29 per cent of farmers surveyed are looking to increase their livestock numbers (up from 23 per cent), 22 per cent intend to invest in irrigation/water infrastructure and in education (from 20 per cent and 24 per cent respectively). 

There has been a slight increase in the number of farmers planning to purchase property in the year ahead, to 15 per cent (from 13 per cent last survey), with intentions highest in Western Australia at 19 per cent (up from 13 per cent).

Reflecting the growth in confidence among those in the farm sector, there has been an improvement in income expectations.

The survey found 41 per cent of farmers now expect their gross farm income to increase over the next 12 months (was 33 per cent previously), with a decreased number anticipating a weaker financial result (16 per cent, down from 24 per cent). A total of 40 per cent are expecting incomes to remain unchanged. South Australia has the highest proportion of farmers projecting an increase in income, at 60 per cent.

Why Ag Tech Could Be the Tool Farmers Need to Survive the Next Farm Crisis

When I talk to farmers about ag technology, I hear a lot of fear and confusion. Ag tech has come with a lot of promises, with 30% yield gains here, 40% savings there, and over and over again. Many farmers have felt that implementing technology can be a burden at times and can cost too much without showing a verifiable ROI. 

While ag technology may feel like a burden, I’m here to tell you why I think it could be the savior you need to get through this downturn and set up your farm for the future. 

History of Ag Tech

Before we get to that argument, you probably better get a hint of who the heck is behind this cloak of reality around technology in ag. Let’s start here: I’m a child of the ’80s farm crisis, a kid who grew up within the ’90s and early 2000s precision ag beginnings, a former farmer rerouted by family, and an adult knee deep into all ag tech progressions. Starting next year, I’ll be a “new” farmer, given another chance to farm with the full understanding of how all the pieces do and don’t fit. 

From building and selling ag tech software alongside my dad over the last 30 years to consulting, writing, and podcasting about ag tech, I’ve made a name for myself as the Meme Lord of AgTech. 

But my first encounter with farming came at a very young age — at home in Maddock, North Dakota. One could say it set the tone for how I still think through AG and the tech within it.

The day I was born, the bank told my dad he couldn’t farm anymore. That was in November 1984. My parents went another 10 years after fighting through politicians, with the Farmers Union, and beyond, until the bank came back again and forced him to sell his remaining durum too cheaply, sealing their fate. Due to this and my dad’s stubborn Norwegian roots, in 1994, he figured he’d start something no one had done yet in agriculture — pioneering the use of satellite imagery through our family’s company, Satshot. This path existed because the first dream didn’t: farming. 

You see, the early days of this technology were brought to farmers and ag businesses by people who saw and experienced that pain from the worst farm crisis we’ve seen. Whether they were like us, who felt it directly, or others who were tied to it in different realms, it was felt through the blood and tears of those times. That created a determination to prevent that from happening again, to other farmers.

This came in a wave of technology: yield monitors, farm management software, GPS guidance, auto steer, mapping, and a whole host of site-specific farming methods, tools, and sensors. This is what really started what we now call ag tech. 

This is a start, I hope to try to see technology in a different way. Not as a burden, but as the savior to help the farm as it was intended. Most farmers haven’t been told the realities of where ag tech started.

We’ve Done This Before

As we face another ag crisis, farmers have to adapt and do things they haven’t done before. 

All farmers throughout time have accepted using new methods of technology to keep them going into the next year. Maybe it was a steam engine, hybrid corn, a self-propelled combine, synthetic chemicals and fertilizer, or new GMO traits. 

Ag tech wants to help, but you have to be willing to adapt and use it. Those behind ag tech are not the ones to fear. The fear is losing the farm, not the technology that can potentially help save it. If used right, ag tech can be a tool to help you feel more confident in the toughest decisions you make every day and year. 

The savior in ag tech isn’t the people who make it, the software I and others have built, or the data it creates. It’s you — the farmer. The one that holds the key to the context that unlocks the power of it all and makes it work for you. Now, more than ever, in the growing risk that is farming, it is your turn to make a decision on how you want to continue playing the game in this growing digital age in ag.

Drones Transforming Australian Agriculture: The Future of Smart Farming

In recent years, drones have moved from novelty to necessity on Australian farms. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) / Drones are reshaping the way producers manage crops and livestock, delivering precision, efficiency, and insight that were once out of reach.  Producers leveraging UAVs/ Drone technology are able to increase safety, productivity reduce costs.

Smarter Crop Monitoring and Mapping 

Across the country, drones are revolutionising crop monitoring. Outfitted with high-resolution and multispectral cameras, they capture detailed imagery that helps farmers assess crop health, detect stress, and pinpoint pest or disease outbreaks early. This data-driven approach allows growers to make targeted interventions, reduce chemical inputs, and ultimately boost yields. 

Precision Spraying and Fertilising 

Another growing application is precision spraying and fertilising. Instead of treating entire paddocks uniformly, drones can focus on specific areas that require attention. This targeted method reduces waste, cuts costs, and limits environmental impact. In large or remote farming regions, particularly in some regions of Australi,a drones also help overcome labour shortages and challenging terrain, enabling more efficient operations. 

Enhancing Livestock Management 

Beyond crops, drones are proving invaluable in livestock management. They assist farmers in monitoring herd movements, locating stray animals, mustering livestock, inspecting fences, and checking water sources, all without the need for long hours on foot or in vehicles. The result is better animal welfare, improved safety, and significant time savings. 

The Path Toward Sustainable, Data-Driven Farming 

As the Australian agriculture industry navigates climate change, rising costs, and growing sustainability demands, drones are becoming a vital tool for sustainable and data-driven smart farming. Their ability to collect and analyse real-time data empowers farmers to make informed, precise decisions. With advances in automation, machine learning, and AI integration, the role of drones is expected to grow even further in the years ahead.

I’ve only just scratched the surface of how producers can leverage UAV / drone technologies across the agricultural sector. The pace of innovation in drone platforms, payloads, and software is accelerating rapidly, opening new opportunities for smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient farming. 

Through this upcoming series of articles, I’ll take a closer look at both current and emerging use cases, exploring how these technologies are being applied across Australia. My goal is to educate and support the agricultural industry by breaking down how each platform, payload, and software contributes to real-world productivity and environmental benefits.

The Social Media Trap: Why Posting Consistently Isn’t a Strategy

Most businesses are told the same thing: just post consistently.
So you do. A few reels. Some behind-the-scenes. A “Happy Friday” post.
But nothing moves. No inquiries. No leads.

Just like from the same loyal names.
And that’s the trap: You’re active, but you’re not building authority. You’re busy, but you’re not remembered.

This Isn’t Just a Social Problem. It’s a Sales Problem

When your feed lacks structure, your audience feels it. So do the algorithms. Your brand starts to feel vague, not trusted. And in markets where reputation matters (especially in farming, livestock, orchard, machinery, and services), that kind of fog costs you the sale.

Posting alone doesn’t make your business easier to choose. Recognition does.

What Actually Builds Recall

So, no. You don’t need more content. You need recognisable patterns that make your brand feel familiar and worth trusting.

• Messages that repeat key ideas, so your audience knows exactly what you stand for

• Visuals that align, so you’re instantly recognisable in a scroll

• Themes that connect, so every post feels like part of a bigger picture

That’s what creates trust before a sale ever happens.

Understanding Supplement Feeding — When, Why & How

Good Evening,

Whether you’re running a few head of cattle or managing a mixed mob of sheep and goats, knowing when and how to supplement feed can make all the difference to animal health, productivity, and profitability.

At its core, supplement feeding is about filling the nutritional gaps when pasture quality or quantity drops. But there’s a big difference between feeding to maintain condition and feeding to drive performance and weight gain.

💡 Feeding for Maintenance
Maintenance feeding keeps animals healthy and in stable condition when pasture is limited or low in nutrients, like during winter, drought, or late pregnancy. ​ It focuses on meeting basic energy, protein, and mineral needs, often through hay, silage, molasses-based licks, or mineral blocks.

⚡ Feeding for Nutritional Gain
Nutritional or performance feeding is all about growth and productivity — supporting weight gain, lactation, and market readiness. ​

It usually involves higher-quality feeds such as grains, pellets, and protein meals, and should be introduced gradually to avoid digestive issues.

Understanding Species Differences:
Cattle are grazers needing energy balance, sheep are selective feeders requiring trace minerals, and goats are browsers that thrive on calcium-rich roughage. ​

Each species benefits from targeted supplementation matched to their unique feeding behaviours.
✅ Maintenance feeding = keeping animals healthy and stable​
✅ Nutritional feeding = achieving growth, milk, or sale weight goals
