In a season where the rain didn’t turn up, variable rate technology still delivered. Sean Mason and Peter Treloar break down how VRT helped growers cut costs, target inputs, and uncover hidden soil constraints—proving that even in drought, there’s plenty to learn.
At Mallee Sustainable Farming (MSF), our field days are designed to bring the latest research and practical insights directly to the farming community. A key focus of these events has been the demonstration of different soil amelioration practices and their potential to improve crop emergence and yield on challenging sandy soils, typical of the Mallee region.
Farming in the Mallee region presents unique challenges, particularly due to high erosion risks and non-wetting sands. Traditional soil amelioration methods often exacerbate these problems, leaving fields vulnerable to wind erosion. However, a new soil amelioration method, strip amelioration, is emerging as a promising solution to fixing these sandy soils issues.
