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. 🌾🚜

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. 🌱 @UnfsNorth @BethSleep @chriscrouch_

@PitCritic Glad you asked! I’m interested in finding areas of kaolinite vs. carbonate vs ferric soil types for example… all common across the UN and having very different yield potentials and therefore varying management. Another bonus is finding gravel vs sand!

@BethSleep @UnfsNorth @BreezyHillPAS Great work Beth ! ….and Jess. Excellent project. Just checking?….with your reference to clay types do you mean you are using Gamma RM for clay percentage gradient?.or determination of actual physical clay types such as illite, smectite etc ?…..or combined variations thereof ?

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

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! 👩‍🔬

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’. bit.ly/3LBQbVQ
