Anyone keen on a Rain Radar that works? If we get 100 retweets we will build it.

Mapping Depth to Clay in 10cm increments.

Our new EM unit reads: 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.8, 1.1 and 1.4m depth simultaneously.
Using these measurements, we can calculate and predict where the changes in clay % occur. Early days, but our prediction layers have a very high r-squared (pic2).

Our special passenger will change industry perspectives on how to best approach deep ripping and soil renovation in WA soils.
Any guesses?

First in the WORLD.
Our newest EM can simultaneously detect soil changes at depths of 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.8, 1.1 and 1.4m.
This adds resolution in soil profiles in 3d, that will greatly improve variable depth control prescriptions on deep ripping, in addition to greater understanding of duplex soils.

@JamesPreuss @DaveyJohn_676 @theGRDC With VR targets, we commonly see 80-100+% payback on our services in year 01. Each year thereafter, the benefits are compounded within the farm business. However lean on experienced and INDEPENDENT precision ag advice, which is difficult to find.

@vrtsolutions @DaveyJohn_676 @theGRDC Agreed, i'm keen to see the figures. I would expect most would jump onto it if the capital outlay were paid for in under 5 years by the savings of blanket fert?

Fertiliser prices are a problem on a global scale. Monopolisation is a major problem.

I came across a post on the fertilizer ratio to corn price. Stone X did the research and the math and they are not wrong. @JLinvilleFert We can get down on ag and wallow in self-pity or stand up and fight. 1. Fertilizer efficiency per bushel has never been better. Investment in precision technology is rising. Investment dollars are tight so let's get them placed in high value optimization work. 2. We can hedge of higher December futures than the price in the data today. We can then turn the grain over to the "elevator" side of our farm to earn carry. 3. The import tariffs on PHOS are providing a profit umbrella to largely ONE company. MOSAIC has 74% of the US market. Can someone look at the world price vs US price? Take the difference, if it exists, X Mosaic sales? Let's be data driven and fight inflation Jeff

@JamesPreuss @DaveyJohn_676 @theGRDC Perhaps a real dive into understanding soils and adoption of variable rate applications by soils and yield would help maintain or improve profitability?
English
💯 how long until fert drop back? Can we mine our soils and wait in hopium for better prices. Or is there a better way? Companion cropping doesnt work, so I just found out this week at the @theGRDC Nitrogen workshop.
Im about to look into moon cycles and plant bull horns 🤣 is there cheaper organic/biodynamic options without pillaging the soil?

Quality soil data and precision agriculture can reduce risk and improve farm performance.
On the the #WADroughtHub Dry Season Resources podcast, Aidan Sinnott (@vrtsolutions) and Giles McMeikan (@Farmanco) explore how soil surveying can be used to manage risk in modern farming systems, soil surveying technologies available to farmers, how soil data can help improve water use efficiency, and the practical implementation of variable rate technology (VRT).

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. tools.vrt-solutions.com/rate-rater #jfg #deeperisbetter

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

@LiddellClaying @aidan_sinnott @darvecaporn @Spectare_VRTS Just gypsum, albeit probably too much for the amount of clay

A lot of soil science can happen on your shed bench.

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.

@warralakin13 Its pretty cool having this tech in your shed. Will post results of a comparison trial we will self fund.

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

@LiddellClaying @Spectare_VRTS EM shows dynamic of water effect in landscape, and is strongly correlated to yield on this block in this year, and probably any wet year. The soil mapping data better allows for medium-long term planning. 1st image is EM, 2nd yield #jfg #deeperisbetter

@vrtsolutions @Spectare_VRTS What does EM/Gamma show instead of yeild?
English
Super interesting dynamics at play.
