Well that’s something I never thought I’d do…. Lentil sowing at YONGALA. One of two lentil trials. One at Yongala & one at Jamestown. Looking at 11 varieties, plant populations (80, 120 and 160 plants/m2) and the new acid tolerant rhizobia vs the normal. @EldersLimited

Sometimes the best trial is the simplest! Hand spread various rates of SOP on hay ground to check for K response. This was replicated on 4 different soil types. 🌾🚜

Four years in the making! Damo is excited for the first limited production run of TAGGR for the 2024 hay season. 🧑🌾 🚜.
Extremely excited to announce a new product I have been developing!.TAGGR. The industries first retrofittable auto hay tagging device. Tag export hay bales as they are being made!.Production is limited so please order ASAP for the coming season.

EM38 is great to pick light vs. heavy soils types… But still requires a lot of ground truthing to identity different clay types. That’s why gamma peaked my interest. A current @UnfsNorth project looks at how gamma layers can map clay types. Join us Wed to learn more. 🔬🗺️🚜

Todays learning…. Ground truth, ground truth, ground truth! . Been looking at gamma, EM, elevation and soil data for weeks still with a few question marks. Punch a few cores and drive across a few zones and it’s all so much clearer. 👌🌾.
‘The maps don’t lie’ - niether do soil cores! @BethSleep and I navigated to 3 zones in the ‘Scrub’ paddock today. Massive yield variability - 2-6.5T Barley last year. We paired EM38, Potassium, Uranium and Thorium map layers with Yield and found 3 quite different soil profiles

Come see how I zone up paddocks and analyse soil cores at the field days. Soil core demos at 11, 1 and 3 each day! 👩🔬

It’s great to have new learnings as we accumulate more layers for different parameters. 🌱.
Mapping soil constraints in 3D ⬇️ This @theGRDC project will be very exciting for us to learn more about our complex, undulating clay based soils in the Upper North. Gamma Radiometrics revealing yield constrained zones we’ve never been able to explain in the ‘Bus Stop’ paddock 🌱

What a fantastic few days!! .Spent yesterday recording the new round of podcasts talking about recent soil case studies. Then today was the first UNFS Soil Conference. Very rewarding to be apart of.

I’ve always wondered what the trade off is to including another species into the vetch rotation. No better way to answer the question than doing a trial. Read the below if you want to know too. 🌱.
The next case study as part of the Soils Knowledge project is hot off the press and ready to hit tractor cabs across the Upper North Farming region! ‘Demonstrating Vetch Mix Options to Reduce Soil Erosion Whilst Maintaining Good Nitrogen Fixation’.

This is apart of a project I’ve been lucky enough to lead for UNFS. The project is titled ‘soils knowledge’ and has podcasts, field days and fact sheets as main outputs. This is 1/5 case studies sharing realistic management tips with growers. Have a read using the below link!.
The UNFS Soils Knowledge project will be releasing a series of case studies over the coming weeks JUST IN TIME FOR SOWING! Read the first case study ‘Use of Precision Ag Mapping to Identify and Ameliorate pH Variation Economically’. Follow the link:
