Necessity is the mother of invention: the iPaddock suite of farm innovations

Born out of the need for better solutions to the daily farming challenges, iPaddock is a diverse suite of farmer developed innovations that blaze a new trail for high farm profitability.

From the broadly adopted iPaddockYield, iPaddockSpray and iPaddockRain apps (available in the App Store), to iPaddock’s patented inventions including the Alpha Disc seeding system, the Unstacker grain handler, and the latest model Typhoon feed drum update for draper fronts, iPaddock has a hard earned reputation for practical, innovative solutions to the daily farming challenges.

Built, tried and tested in the real world by real farmers

We crop 6000 hectares (15,000 acres) each year on our own farms, producing around 20,000 tonnes annually of wheat, barley, canola and legumes.  iPaddock combines our real paddock experience with cutting edge engineered solutions.  Farmers who use iPaddock technology always comment on the simplicity of the design, yet the massive difference it makes to their business.  We hear a lot of “why didn’t the big companies do this years ago”.  We got tired of waiting.

Plus iPaddock is backed by a genuine commitment to supporting every customer who supports us, when they invest in iPaddock products.

Multiple award winning technology

iPaddock has been nationally recognised for its contribution to the wider Australian farm industry. Awarded with the 2012 GRDC Grain Inventors Award, the 2014 Newdegate Machinery Field Days Farm Inventors Award and Best New Release Award, and the prestigious 2017 Syngenta Growth Awards for Productivity.

iPaddock is 100% about adding practical value to every farm business.

iPaddock’s farming story

iPaddock was founded in 2011 by Mic and Marnie Fels, both qualified engineers who have been farming at their Halcyon Downs properties in Esperance, Western Australia since 1993.
