Published on Thursday, September 20, 2012 in General

If you live in Rural Australia and rely on modern technology to stay in touch with others, the innovative new website Farmz.com.au is exactly what you need!

The team at Farmz are super excited about providing an online site for people living and working in Australian agriculture.

"Rural Australia is the heart, soul and back-bone of our beautiful country and we think we need a place online for us to stay better connected," says Alex Sparkes, creator of Farmz.com.au, who is a passionate sixth generation beef cattle producer from Taroom in Central Queensland.

Having lived on the land for most of his life and knowing the challenges of staying in touch with friends and what's happening on their farms, Alex began working on a platform that allowed farm owners to connect with other farms from around Australia and share what they're doing with each other.

Alex, a co-founder of bloodstock.com.au, along with the rest of Farmz team, are strong believers in the ability of technology to enhance the way rural and regional Australian's live their farming lives.

Farmers can jump online, create a profile regarding their farm and connect with other farmers The site has been live for seven weeks now, with over 400 farmers joining from industries all around Australia.

Alex is particularly impressed by the number of equine related farms that are joining the community, demonstrating just how pro-active the industry is when it comes to using online tools.
