In this episode, we sit down with fatigue experts Professor Sally Ferguson (CQ University) and Kerri-Lynn Peachey (University of Sydney) to unpack the CRDC-supported research project Farming and Fatigue: Growing Sensible Solutions.
Sally and Kerri-Lynn explore why fatigue is a major risk during peak farming periods (like picking!) and how practical, farmer‑designed tools can help make fatigue manageable - not inevitable.
This conversation focuses on real-world strategies that support safety, productivity, and better decision-making on farm.
