Cutting-Edge Agricultural Drones Take to Goulburn Skies, Helping Local Farmers Tackle Wet Weather Challenges

As extreme weather and wet ground conditions continue to pose severe challenges for traditional farming machinery, local Goulburn farmers are turning to a revolutionary solution: heavy-duty agricultural drones.

Event Details

• Event: XAG Ag Drone Demonstration Day
• Date: Friday, 15 May 2026
• Time: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM AEST
• Location: Goulburn Workers Arena, Finlay Rd, Goulburn NSW 2580

Last Friday, the local farming community gathered at the Goulburn Workers Arena for the Ag Drone Demonstration Day to witness firsthand how drone technology is transforming day-to-day farm operations. Run in partnership with XAG Australia, Elders, and Aland AI Drones, the event showcased the latest in high-capacity agricultural drone technology — the XAGP150 Max.

For many Goulburn landowners in attendance, the technology directly addresses one of their most pressing operational hurdles.

"One of my biggest challenges is trying to get tractors onto the paddocks, especially when they're wet and damp, which creates too much damage," said a local beef cattle farmer who attended the demonstration. "I see the drones as a massive asset, especially for the speed at which they can work without having to disturb the soil profile in any way."

The field day featured live demonstrations of the drones'in-flight spraying capabilities, giving attendees an up-close look at the aerial operations. Beyond the flight demonstrations, the event provided a valuable platform for local farmers and agricultural specialists to exchange insights on modern planting and crop management techniques. Attendees also learned about the highly efficient battery-recharging mechanisms set up on the back of work trucks by Aland AI Drones, which ensure continuous operation out in the field.

Local agricultural contractors are also seeing the immediate benefits of this transition. A representative from Aland AI Drones noted that the new technology is a "massive game changer" for the local agriculture industry.

"With the weather, it constricts you from what machinery you're able to use. With the drones, you don't have to worry if it's wet or if it's too soft to get into a paddock. You can just fly straight in," the Aland representative explained. "It makes a world of difference for both us as contractors and the farmers."

The event provided a strong visual story of how practical innovation and shared agricultural knowledge are being deployed locally. By bringing this advanced equipment directly to the community, XAG Australia and its partners are empowering Goulburn farmers to manage their land more efficiently and sustainably, regardless of ground conditions.
