SMS for Farms & Growers
Round up casual crew for tomorrow's pick, let customers know the produce truck's arrived and send season updates without leaving the paddock.
How Australian farms and growers use SMS
Reception is patchy in the shed and worse in the back paddock, so a phone call gets missed but a text gets read the next time someone's near a signal. Australian farms, orchards, market gardens and packers use Mobile Message to round up casual crew for tomorrow's start, let a mailing list know the moment a delivery, market stall or farm gate sale is on, and send short season or harvest updates to buyers and staff without everyone needing to be on email.
Mobile Message sends from 1.6¢ per message with no monthly fees or contracts, so a message to your whole crew or customer list costs next to nothing even at busy times of year. Send from your farm's own name, reply to crew and customers from one shared inbox, and schedule season reminders ahead so they still go out when you're flat out on the header.
Casual crew coordination
Text your crew list the night before with a start time and location, and get a quick reply back on who's in.
Farm gate and delivery sale alerts
Let your list know the moment the stall's open or the delivery run is on its way, with what's fresh that day.
Season and harvest updates
Send a short update when a crop's sold out for the season or the next cut or harvest is coming up, to buyers or your mailing list.
Compliance and monitoring alerts
Get a text the moment a moisture probe, irrigation block or piece of equipment needs checking, so small issues don't sit for days.
Rosters and shift reminders
Confirm shifts, RDOs and start times with staff by text, so nothing relies on someone checking email in the shed.
