Kicking off day 3 of #gcss2025 with an excellent presentation from @BindiIsbister using yield maps and estimated yield potential as a benchmark to measure improvements to soil amelioration across a paddock and ID the soil types that provide the least and most response xitter.cf/Jenni_Clausen/status/1…
