What #soilcontraints will be in your Xmas stockings this year? The #USQ team giving Santa a run for his money delivering soil sampling joy in Bowen, Townsville, Millmerran, Moree, Trangie and Forbes over the next 2 weeks. @ILSE_USQ GRDC CRDC

Benchmarking your #soilconstraints is the first step in designing tailored soil amelioration plans! CRDC GRDC North @ILSE_USQ

Great to have this out on farm implementing some of the trials we’ve designed. More info to come!

Another great trial in investigating #soilconstraints. Figuring out which areas of the paddock will have the best Return-On-Investment for #soilamelioration. GRDC Mick Freeman @ILSE_USQ

Good to have the 8RX 370 on site thanks to @VanderfieldAU . Able to achieve a 600 mm ripping depth for the #soilconstraints trial with Mick Freeman.

Great to chat about some of our initial #soilconstraints results and discuss what it means for on-farm decision making

Great to have this running around the country side implementing #soilconstrains trials. Ameliorating compaction whilst treating dispersive subsoils with #gypsum to increased water holding capacity. Keep an eye out for the rig as it runs around! TTQ Agriculture @ILSE_USQ AgChatOZ

Great day to check out some tech and have a chat about equipment we can use to manage our more difficult subsoil constraints. #deepripping #subsoilgypsum

All from the same paddock!

A great commercial prototype thanks to TTQ Agriculture. 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 ABC Landline

Who said we don't have have acidic-compacted-dispersive subsoils in QLD? Will be interesting to see how yield response changes as the #soilconstraints vary from one end of the paddock to the other. David Lester John McLean Bennett Jayne Gentry GRDC @ILSE_USQ Mick Freeman

@DAFQld out harvesting #soilconstraints Millmerran. Two days soil coring coming up to finalise site for this year. Early numbers 50% variation in yields. Jayne Gentry Stirling Roberton GRDC North @ILSE_USQ

A soil scientist’s dream pub in humble Coonamble!

Next phase capturing Pampas FS site happening. Dio Antille running suction plates for #soilwater, helping Lindsay Bell and I get some #spatial analysis going. Thanks DataFarming for #EM38 map. @DAFQld & CSIRO + GRDC North #farmingsystemsnorth

A project investigating the economics of ameliorating soil constraints in the northern region with @unisquas Uni of New England @DAFQld @nswdpi has provided a new manual for dispersive soil management. Read more: bit.ly/3mvQSHF Download the manual: bit.ly/41amvpw

Great to see some On-Farm Experimentation come to life across variable landscapes! Sam Trengove Michael Moodie Therese Mcbeath Kenton Porker GRDC South

Good day to look where the water is in the profile post ripping and different inclusion methods as part of GRDC South Sandy Soil II investment at Crystal Brook with Sam Trengove Andrew Sargent Stirling Roberton Still deciding if new soil pit digger is useful!!
