cattle manure + on-farm lime deep spaded (550 mm) followed by deep ripping (left, in 100x100 mm grid) Vs acidic Wodjil sand profile (right). Better wheat root growth: to P boost (N, K too), improved pH and potentional soil conditioning. leftmost profile (being root scored) similar trt without cattle manure. Thanks to the SWAN (Soil Water & Nutrition Collaboration) investors @DPIRDbroadacre @GRDCWest, @theGRDC host growers @bobnixon11 @S_Nixon_

One paddock, one season: better path planning delivered 14 fewer tracks, saved 0.9 hours and reduced overlap by 4.7 ha on this WA farm.
See how the approach was scaled across 133 paddocks in this #GrainAutomate case study from @theGRDC

Be sensible and plan better this summer.
Don't run in with your shiny new Deep Ripper without some solid thought towards your soil types, fuel usage and possible damage. #jfg #deeperisbetter
