🍍 Not the kind of Pineapple Express you’re thinking of. This one stars pineapple grower Colin Hawken and with the help of the Semeato 300E double-disc seeder, Colin is transforming the way he farms on the Fraser Coast — protecting both his pineapple crop and one of Australia’s greatest natural assets, the Great Barrier Reef. 🌊
By planting directly into moisture without cultivating the soil, the Semeato 300E helps keep valuable ground cover in place, reducing sediment runoff and erosion during heavy rainfall events. Less exposed soil means less sediment making its way through local waterways and ultimately into the reef.
The benefits don’t stop there. Cover crops established with the Semeato are helping:
✅ Reduce soil erosion
✅ Improve moisture retention
✅ Lower reliance on nitrogen fertilisers
✅ Build healthier soils
✅ Increase farming resilience after rainfall For Colin, it’s about producing premium Queensland pineapples while leaving the land in better condition for the next generation.
Better farming. Healthier soils. A stronger Great Barrier Reef. That’s a win for growers, consumers and the environment. 🌱🍍🌊
