Your rainfall .... variable Your soils .... variable Your yields .... variable Your application rates .... blanket. Yes it can be simpler, but does it make sense?? #jfg #deeperisbetter

World leading in WA. 10cm increments, you'll notice "measured and predicted" in top left alongside the depth increment. Fantastic insight into the soil profile and where sands meet clays, moisture retention and salinity issues in a vertical plane #jfg #deeperisbetter

Don't listen if you don't want, but fertiliser is becoming too expensive to waste. Soil site selection --> Good sampling technique --> Good results --> Non-biased data based decisions Keep as much margin as possible #jfg #deeperisbetter

Very cool to see advances in soil testing, and in particular, in turnaround time. Running this for a couple of weeks. The future might be here! #jfg #deeperisbetter

You cant pick good soil sites without good data. You cant take good samples without good methods. Leverage soil maps for better knowledge. This moves you towards better longer term decision making. Let the best methods have the most influence. #jfg #deeperisbetter

Anyone keen on a Rain Radar that works? If we get 100 retweets we will build it. #jfg #deeperisbetter #wetterisbetter

The best time to soil survey your farm is when you first buy it. Saves YEARS of guessing, wasted time and resources. Design your plans and attack the targets. Also,if your soil samples dont have variety like this, then you may want to rethink your methods! #jfg #deeperisbetter

Gamma radiometric potassium map really picking the eyes out of the clay % in these soils. Harvest not over, but summer jobs have started. #jfg #deeperisbetter

You can take a sensible VR approach to your lime, gypsum, deep ripping, spading, drainage, soil wetter, potash, phosphorus, nitrogen etc etc etc. Now ask yourself, what is that worth per hectare? #jfg #deeperisbetter

Tricky grain and high fertiliser prices make QUALITY soil data intrinsically more valuable to your business. Implementing strategic soil sampling by zones guides your inputs for the best benefit. #jfg #deeperisbetter

Costs going up? What to do? Blanket Rate vs Variable Rate Check out our free online calculator "RateRater" to run your own business case for your adoption of VRT. Retweet for the unconverted. Any feedback welcome. tools.vrt-solutions.com/rate… #jfg #deeperisbetter

South Australian soils are varied, but a soils based variable rate approach will help optimise inputs. Get started or lose another year, its up to you! #jfg #deeperisbetter

A serious discussion is required on soil sampling and the methods. The current ag industry needs better data, not antiquated methods from the 1980s. Throwing your $$ at 0-10cm samples is often misleading, and plays you into the hands of fearmongers and salespeople. BE SMARTER! #jfg #deeperisbetter
