David attended the Mid North High Rainfall Zone spring field day on Friday, taking advantage of the opportunity to learn more about frost impacts & mitigation strategies at the Frost Learning Centre near Farrell Flat. Thank you to @MidNorthHRZ and SARDI for organising the day.

Join us in Mount Mercer or Mount Lonarch/Amphitheatre along with @VicGovAg and @meatlivestock for a field day on precision soil mapping and variable rate fertiliser use in the livestock industry. Wed 9 Oct & Fri 11 Oct. More info and registrations:

David Oddie has also been out to the Minnipa Agriculture Centre Field Day on Wednesday. The day showcased the latest research in low rainfall farming systems, including looking at differing types of crop and their nitrogen losses, plus national variety trials. #SoilIsLife

David Oddie, our SA & TAS Area Manager, attended the Air EP Crop Walk on Tuesday, hosted in Cummins on the Eyre Peninsula, SA. The day covered topics such as the effectiveness of lime applications, new Agtech and a viewing of their long term crop rotation trial. #SoilIsLife

Andrew Huebner, our Northern VIC Area Manager, has been out at the Western Ag Yield Max Trial Day in Waubra today. The morning was insightful with a walk through of their Canola Varieties demonstration paddock and exploration of the latest yield-maximisation techniques.

Follow up sampling to occur 12 months after initial sampling to assess results. Hoping to see a reduction in the paddocks nutrient variability. #DairySA #PrecisionAg #nutrientmanagement #SoilIsLife.

SA Dairy Project Update: .Colwell phosphorus map of 63Ha with an average Colwell P of 75mg/kg, ranging from 24-300mg/kg. In an effort to better utilise on-farm resources, a targeted effluent program has been instigated to apply product on identified low nutrition regions. (1/2)

The average rate applied was 276kg/ha, with 27ha out of 94 receiving treatment. (2/2) .#DairySA #PrecisionAg #nutrientmanagement #SoilIsLife.

South Australia Dairy Project Update: .Soil pH map of a 94ha South-Eastern SA Dairy farm with an average soil pH of 5.9, however the soil variability showed pH ranges from 4.1-7.4. Lime application targeting 5.2pH to reduce the variability was applied. (1/2)

Campbell has been in the Northern Rivers, NSW, working with a local macadamia farm on their soil variability, a huge challenge in permanent crops. If soil constraints aren't properly managed, it can have huge impacts on future yield and ultimately potential profit.

needed to maximise crop yields, whilst understanding and managing costs. The project group is looking to extend the project for 3-4 more years to continue to monitor the performance of these farms whilst protecting the wetland s natural capital and add in further collaborators.

The farmers were supported by their agronomists from Ground Up Ag Solutions, Dagro & Western Ag. In partnership between Precision Ag & the agronomists, there was great collaboration in understanding the methods used to analyse the soil data and then the key decision making. .

The day highlighted the Precision Agriculture experiences of local farmers Graeme Vallance, George Coutts and Nathan Blomeley who are aiming to enhance farm productivity while preserving their wetlands natural capital.

Everyone was together for the Precision Agriculture Trial Field Day at Lake Bolac and Nerrin Nerrin for a progress update on this important project.

Precision Ag members Dr Kirsten Barlow, Meera Cameron and Geoff Ross were out on farm this week along with project partners Beyond Bolac Catchment Management Group and Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority.

Another thank you to Warwick Read's who is hosting on going trials at his property in Western Victoria.

The session was led by PA's resident soil scientist Dr Kirsten Barlow with Gerard O'Brien from Western Ag also providing great agronomic insights. The group covered a lot of topics from basic soil science through to use of technology to drive better decision making on farm.

It was a pleasure to host students from Clarendon College earlier this week at our HQ. These young minds are learning in the classroom & on paddocks the benefits of healthy and productive soils.

Join us this week at Elders' FarmFest!.QLD's premier primary industry field days. We will be at FarmFest for all 3 days. Come down and chat with Campbell, our Northern Region Manager, about Variable Rate Technology, Carbon & how you can improve your farm's performance.
