In Australia a Texas farmer demonstrates a driverless robot tractor using guiding discs on front wheels to stay in furrows. It runs 24 hours per day, refuels every 21 hours, and requires far less labor than traditional ploughing, cutting man-hours from 1180 to 35 and costs from 390 dollars to 17 dollars per field, with nightly service at midnight.

Victorian Wheat Yield Drops Amid Drought Toll
The Australian Wheat Board reports lower payments for the 1944-45 season as drought hampers Victorian growers. July advances show minimal gains while 1943-44 totals and 1944-45 figures reflect a sharp decline, with 8400 Victorian growers harvesting about 40,000 bushels versus prior years. Officials note a potential rebound in 1946-47. licences and quotas shape the market amid shortages.
