With the season ramping up, we’re excited to share that our Ballarat office has officially moved to Alfredton! To celebrate, we're opening up the shed for a BBQ Breakfast for all of our clients, local growers, industry partner and neighbours friends to grab a bite and have chat

Meet Caitlin 🌱 When it comes to farming across the Riverina West and Lachlan Valley, soil variability can make or break your season. 🌾 That’s where Caitlin Langley, our Business Development Manager, comes in. She helps local growers take the mystery out of their soil through

Gamma Radiometric vs EM38 🔍🌏 What’s the difference between Gamma Radiometric and EM38 mapping, and why do we use both? EM38 measures soil conductivity down to 1.5 metres, giving insights into sub-surface factors like moisture, salinity, and texture. Gamma Radiometrics

Tackling High Fert Prices with Precision 💰🌱 New data from the GRDC highlights that fertiliser and chemical costs represent 38.5% of crop income — which makes getting the strategy right more important than ever. At Precision Ag, we help growers optimise their inputs using EM38

Celebrating 30 Years of SFS 🌾 Southern Farming Systems is celebrating 30 years of delivering relevant, research-based information to growers — and the next few months are packed with opportunities to get involved! Join the upcoming events designed to help you build resilience,

Precision Ag Team Day 🌾 This week our Ballarat team came together for our PA Team Day, a chance to slow down, catch up, and look at how we can keep improving the way we work. From prospecting and service delivery through to finance, soil/GIS, and research, everyone shared

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: https://t.co/eVGoxBC4hs

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.
