NZ agri-tech company GrainSure expands following major partnership, prepares first Australian deployments

New Zealand agri-tech company GrainSure has signed a five-year strategic partnership with leading feed supplier Nutrinza, marking a major milestone in the rollout of its feed-silo monitoring solution — and setting the stage for the company’s entry into the Australian market.

GrainSure brings together rugged, solar-powered sensors, long-range connectivity and an intuitive mobile app that gives reliable, real-time visibility of feed levels. The system provides accurate, up-to-date information that helps farmers plan confidently and suppliers coordinate deliveries with less guesswork.

“Running out of feed creates big problems across the supply chain,” says Mark Simon, Managing Director at GrainSure. “Farmers lose productivity, suppliers lose efficiency, and everyone carries the cost. GrainSure is designed to eliminate that risk.”

Relevance to Australia

The challenges GrainSure solves in New Zealand — long travel distances, emergency deliveries, and limited visibility of feed-silo levels — are also widespread across Australian dairy and livestock regions.

To support this, GrainSure is now preparing pilot deployments in Victoria in early 2026, and is in discussions with potential feed-supply partners across Australia.

“Australia faces the same problem we solved in New Zealand,” says Simon. “Feed suppliers want better visibility, farmers want fewer nasty surprises, and both want a smoother order-to-delivery process. Our NZ results show the model works — and the Australian market is a natural next step.”

Farmers use the mobile app to see how much feed remains, how fast they’re using it, and when to reorder. Feed suppliers see the same data across all their customers, enabling better planning and reducing costly “run-out” emergencies.

Nutrinza partnership (New Zealand)

Nutrinza has integrated GrainSure into its customer offering, supporting more consistent on-farm feed management and improving supply-chain coordination.

Nutrinza’s Managing Director Warren Morritt describes GrainSure as a “real game-changer” for feed management:

“Farmers now have complete visibility of their feed levels without having to climb silos or rely on estimates. They know exactly how much feed they’ve got, how long it will last, and can avoid the costly milk production losses that come when feed runs out unexpectedly.”
