Background: The Real Struggle - Knowing When to Sell
Harry Pye, an independent farmer from Walgett, Northern NSW, has been farming wheat, barley, and chickpeas across 13,000 hectares for years. While his farm thrived on traditional methods passed down through generations, Harry knew he needed more than just old wisdom to navigate today’s unpredictable markets.
"Tradition has built our farms, but technology can grow it,"
Despite relying on local brokers and multiple weather apps, Harry often missed the perfect window to sell. His biggest frustration was making sales decisions based on inaccurate or delayed information, which left his farm vulnerable to fluctuating prices and missed profits. For Harry, timing was everything, and not having the right data in one place led to costly mistakes.
“I had 3-4 weather apps on my phone, but Octopusbot brought it all together in one place,”
“he says. It was eye-opening for him. Octopusbot gave Harry the ability to view all the factors impacting his farm’s productivity and crop’s pricing in real time, without having to juggle different sources.

"I missed a chance to sell at the top because I was on the tractor," Harry recalls. That missed opportunity was a wake-up call.
