Grant Rogers worked as a vet in New Zealand before moving to Tasmania to follow his passion to be a farmer. Whilst he admits it was a very steep learning curve, he spent almost 20 years on farm before knowing the time was right to retire and move back into his veterinary practice. Whilst on farm though, he was regularly frustrated by his staff not remembering simple instructions or the seemingly simple steps to move or repair an irrigator, but it’s this common frustration that sparked an idea to create Knowby.

Knowby is a the tech company providing a web based app for users to create simple step by step instructional guides with short videos, pictures and text which is now used across 30 different industries in 20 countries around the world. For more information head to the website https://www.knowby.co

This chat was recorded during the Australian Dairy Conference where Grant was awarded the ADC Innovator Award for the Knowby Platform.
