From Turf to Tech: Bringing Autonomy to the Ground Level

In our first episode of the MCX Tech Podcast, we sit down with Marcus Rogers, Director of Turfco, to explore what autonomy actually looks like in the field - not in theory, but in real-world application.From the introduction of Sabanto autonomous systems into the Australian market, to the operational realities of implementing robotics in turf farming, this conversation unpacks the journey from concept to execution.We talk through:What autonomy really means for the turf industryThe role of Sabanto and autonomous machinery on farmThe challenges of integrating new technology into existing operationsWorkforce, safety, and efficiency in an autonomous environmentThe roadmap for adoption across Australian agricultureThis episode is grounded in experience - sharing honest insights into what works, what doesn’t, and what it takes to bring new technology into the field.If you’re interested in the future of agriculture, autonomy, and practical on-farm innovation - this is where it starts.“This isn’t a conversation about what’s coming - it’s a conversation about what’s already happening in the field.” Michael Casey - Director - MCX Tech
