If you have a reliable spatial data, and good soil sampling data, why would you blanket rate? Data subset from >5000ha farm in the Eastern Wheatbelt, where cost of lime is approaching $70/t on farm. P.S. comparatively, variable rate gypsum is the easy one #jfg

Parked up for Christmas. Lots more soil work to do in 2024. Merry Christmas! 🎅 #jfg

An Electromagnetic (EM) sensor is a great tool for soil mapping, but gamma radiometrics (GR) is almost more useful. Spot differences in these deep cores, not distinguished by EM map (red areas). EM and GR are a pretty comprehensive team. #jfg

Using spatial data to change the way we think about lime & gypsum inputs this summer. Next step is segmented comprehensive soil sampling within each management zone to determine appropriate rates 👍 #deltaagronomy #deltaPAsolutions

Yield limiting Sandy paddock on EP ripped to 55cm, didn’t reach the clay. Got the speed map from @JohnDeere Ops Centre + TSM Soil Survey + RGBI soil colour from @PCTagcloud Satamap Think we’ve found our zone. Next step, pull out some cores, zone, then rip deeper or clay spread

Culgoa water re hydrating the floodplain, 5 km east of the river. Boring as bats poo to most, very beneficial to the country and local community.

A rewarding project, working with @ymandiesel at Kimba 🌱 6000ha Rx seed maps ⬆️ rate on sandy rises. In vetch paddocks, lupins applied on the sands 🌱 6000ha Rx Fert maps, capitalising on more productive soil types Maps sent via WDT to 9RX and @Agworld to convert to actuals!
