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.

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. 🌾🚜

An awesome day at Wandearah at the Saline Soils Mega-Site showcasing the use of PA map technology to design a cut and fill automated design - moving 10cm of sand onto a saline flat after being applied with gypsum. 🌱

Four years in the making! Damo is excited for the first limited production run of TAGGR for the 2024 hay season. 🧑🌾 🚜
3 Feb 2024
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. 🔬🗺️🚜

🎤 New Project Alert (Part B) 🚨
Have you wished you could do more to change the soil you have to work with on your farm?
This project aims to demonstrate the use of automated land forming designs in dune/swale systems in the UN using local providers.
Details/dates early 24’

🎙️ New Project Alert (Part A) 🚨
3D PRECISION AG SOIL TUTORIAL
Do you understand how and why your soils vary across your farm? Learn how map layers can help interpret variability and relate back to decision making for better outcomes.
Details and dates to come in early 2024!

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

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. 🌱
22 May 2023
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!
8 May 2023
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: bit.ly/3VDM9Ru

Why apply broad acre inputs variably… A picture tells a thousand words!
Minimal difference at the soils surface, huge difference beneath 🤯 🗺️ 🚜

Wall to wall mapping meetings with soils Agro @BethSleep today.
I make maps, she talks soils!
Landscape change (elevation) NDVI/yield maps a couple of carefully placed soil cores got us to our VR lime, gyppo and P decisions in @PCTagcloud
