Expression of Interest - Host an Optiweigh unit

Improving data on stock weight not only helps productivity, but it also helps to make timely decisions to reduce on farm emissions.  

Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu has purchased two Optiweigh units – one for sheep and one for cattle as part of the Climate Smart Agriculture Program.  Between July 2025 and June 2028, the Optiweigh units will travel the region - hosted and trialed on various farms. 

You can learn more about Optiweigh and their application on-farm on our factsheet.

If you are a primary producer and interested in hosting and trialing a unit, please complete the Expressions of Interest form below:

In hosting a unit, I understand that:

• submitting an Expression of Interest is no guarantee of the opportunity to host a unit and applications will be assessed on their merit

• I may be asked to share my experience via a case study and/or hosting a field day at my farm;

• data captured by the unit will be collected by Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu; and

• I will need to sign a loan agreement form to host an Optiweigh unit.

Please email Donna.Bartsch@sa.gov.au or call 8391 7500 if you have any enquiries.
