New Zealand agritech Scanabull's new technology for weighing cattle has claimed its first Fieldays Innovation Award, at the same time as the offers are rolling in from companies offshore.
IT expert Dan Bull grew up on a sheep and beef farm in North Waikato near Te Akau. He claimed the Prototype Award for his Scanabull WeighApp after appearing as a finalist in last year's awards.
The stars are aligning for Bull, the visionary founder of the company, because the app draws on his AI industry experience and a deep understanding of farming.
"It's still sinking in, but we're super excited. We've been at Fieldays for the past two days and when I got home last night I couldn't sleep," Bull said.
