@BenholmeF @dr_dirt_oz @mclean_bennett @gentry_jayne @theGRDC @ILSE_USQ @MickFreeman10 Once we’ve got the yield data I’ll post a summary. Soil conditions vary substantially across the paddock, with the strips running the whole length, so we’ll be able to see which soil types/soil constraints respond best to each treatment and where.

@sOiLmAlOnE @dr_dirt_oz @mclean_bennett @gentry_jayne @theGRDC @ILSE_USQ @MickFreeman10 A very variable site Brendan ranging from slightly/moderately acidic to alkaline at depth depending on where you are in the paddock. The lime here is mainly for a calcium addition for soil aggregate stabilisation, so we’ll see the extent we’ve achieved this along with a ph change

A great commercial prototype thanks to @TTQAgriculture. Amelioration of #soilcontraints is showing some promising results! Let’s improve our soil assets and get this rig running on more farms! @ILSE_USQ #agtech @AgChatOZ @abclandline
