New farm office tech and cybersecurity with Carmen Quade  “I think the first thing to do is to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. When new things come in, we’re often bad at it.   “And as adults, you don't like that feeling of things being difficult or hard or harder than they were. And it's just acknowledging that initially things are going to be harder before they get easier and just persisting through that.”  In our third episode, we chat with AgriFocused’s Carmen, who shares the latest farm office technology to make your office time more efficient. Carmen also discusses some quick wins when it comes to software already available but not always used to its fullest. The farm business expert also shares some of her tips on how to protect yourself, your farm business and those you love from cybercrime.   About Carmen Quade  Carmen Quade runs AgriFocused, a training business specialising in farm business skills.
