SANTFA

SANTFA has met its objectives in converting over 90% of SA farmers from full till to no-till with the adoption of conservation farming practices. We look forward to catching up with you & other members of SANTFA who have been integral to our success. trybooking.com/CYQGT

If you farm in South Australia and are interested in the future of Nitrogen Fertiliser supply, please take a minute to fill in the this short and anonymous survey. surveymonkey.com/r/FSVKVHF

A hybrid disc/blade seeder generated 47-90% greater surface soil incorporation relative to a low disturbance disc seeder, improving wheat crop safety under a range of pre-emergence herbicide chemistries IBS. @SADiscoveryFarm #Elders_Murray_Bridge #AMRDC_UniSA #Rootboot_razor

More soluble pre-em herbicides increased wheat crop damage in a 2025 disc seeding trial near Eudunda SA. The hybrid disc significantly reduced this herbicide impact on crop NDVI, being close to the tine seeder reference. @SADiscoveryFarm @EldersLimited #DiscSeeder #PreEmergence

VIRTUAL FENCING approved for use in SA following years of trials. pir.sa.gov.au/news/news/prim… Well done to all that contributed to getting this done including @megan_willis1 @s1onfarm @GarethScholz @robbomallee @JennyStantonKI @SANoTill

I will be talking about renewable nitrogen fertiliser production next Tuesday at Kadina. Event organised by Bentleys Accounting and all are welcome. RSVP Attached. Date: 14 October 2025 Time: 4:30pm - 8pm Place: Kadina Football Club, 1 Doswell Terrace. @FarmNitrogen

Farmers making their own nitrogen fertiliser is a watershed for the industry.

First renewable nitrogen fertiliser plant to be built on a farm in Australia. The plant will produce 4,500 t p.a. of anhydrous ammonia for use on the cotton farm, with excess for local sales. N-equivalent is 7,500 t of urea. ammoniaenergy.org/articles/gegha… farmn.com.au

Have you got your ticket? SANTFAs Celebration of Achievement Registrations close this Monday 10th March at noon. trybooking.com/CYQGT

This survey is part of the Future Drought Fund project co-designed by SANTFA to facilitate the increase in adoption of disc seeders to promote higher residue retention farming systems.

A credit to all those involved historically and those within the current organisation - how many organisations complete their mission and then choose to wind up when the job is done? Congratulations on a magnificent achievement. 👏

"South Australia has got the highest adoption of no-till out of any state in Australia, and largest percentage of cropped area under no-till in the country." "It (SANTFA) has done what it set out to do 25 years ago and it has done it really well." stockjournal.com.au/story/8566886/…

@HaydnKuchel @agrobaz ABARES data Barry. Thank you for your kind words Hayden. Everyone at SANTFA is proud of what we and all those before us have achieved.

@agrobaz Not certain - but I've had the privilege of driving around the SA cropping country over pretty much this same time period and the transformation has been spectacular.
