Reminder! Free and simple online tool. Do your own evaluation of VRT vs Blanket (including transport costs!). If you ever thought VRT wasnt worth the hassle, your recent budget meeting may have changed your mind. #jfg #deeperisbetter
Costs going up? What to do? Blanket Rate vs Variable Rate Check out our free online calculator "RateRater" to run your own business case for your adoption of VRT. Retweet for the unconverted. Any feedback welcome. https://t.co/K3WAzmqihr

Don't listen if you don't want, but fertiliser is becoming too expensive to waste. Soil site selection --> Good sampling technique --> Good results --> Non-biased data based decisions Keep as much margin as possible #jfg #deeperisbetter

A lot of soil science can happen on your shed bench. Guess what the plus means! photo 1: t=0mins photo 2: t=15mins photo 3: t=60mins photo 4: t=720mins #jfg #deeperisbetter

You cant pick good soil sites without good data. You cant take good samples without good methods. Leverage soil maps for better knowledge. This moves you towards better longer term decision making. Let the best methods have the most influence. #jfg #deeperisbetter

Very cool to see advances in soil testing, and in particular, in turnaround time. Running this for a couple of weeks. The future might be here! #jfg #deeperisbetter

The best time to soil survey your farm is when you first buy it. Saves YEARS of guessing, wasted time and resources. Design your plans and attack the targets. Also,if your soil samples dont have variety like this, then you may want to rethink your methods! #jfg #deeperisbetter

Gamma radiometric potassium map really picking the eyes out of the clay % in these soils. Harvest not over, but summer jobs have started. #jfg #deeperisbetter

Variable rate adoption is evolving from a luxury to a necessity. Don't get left behind. VR 80t total vs Blanket 122t MOP Trust the best methods, and the results will come. #jfg #deeperisbetter

You can take a sensible VR approach to your lime, gypsum, deep ripping, spading, drainage, soil wetter, potash, phosphorus, nitrogen etc etc etc. Now ask yourself, what is that worth per hectare? #jfg #deeperisbetter
VRT Solutions has been providing EM and gamma radiometric soil mapping, variable rate (VR) application service and INDEPENDENT consultancy for 7+ years across WA. Here's 5 simple reasons why mapping your soils is a solid move for farm management:

Not all maps are created equal. Here are the exact same datasets, but one is instantly more useful to the eye, because it is scaled appropriately. Processing skill is important! #jfg #deeperisbetter

Tricky grain and high fertiliser prices make QUALITY soil data intrinsically more valuable to your business. Implementing strategic soil sampling by zones guides your inputs for the best benefit. #jfg #deeperisbetter
