A few comments on this to squash some of the misleading information from the forum.
1. Why has this been announced?
Connected Farms and the value of this contract is
material. As such, it is the obligation of DXN to provide these updates. This isn't marketing fluff, this is just responsible investor relations. I'm glad they're making this announcement rather than being deceitful.
2. Does this mean they won't recognise any revenue in FY21?
Yes, they made this very clear in January that the contract wouldn't come back into view until the 2nd half of 2021 at the earliest.

No, it isn't dead. This is aligned with what DXN communicated back in January. That the contract would progress later in the year - this is progress. The value of $900,000 is also in line with what they indicated would be expected as far as revenue.
Sure, the revenue isn't booked and not yet locked in. But it is progress on a substantial contract from DXN.
