Challenging season, but opportunities in ‘as it fried’ maps, examples at Breezy Hill: 1. Patching out lentils to spray grubs 2. Deciding where the header will attempt to chase down seed for next year 3. Zone soils for testing/VR management in the absence of soil sensing maps

‘The maps don’t lie’ - niether do soil cores! @BethSleep and I navigated to 3 zones in the ‘Scrub’ paddock today. Massive yield variability - 2-6.5T Barley last year. We paired EM38, Potassium, Uranium and Thorium map layers with Yield and found 3 quite different soil profiles

Breezy Hill Precision Ag has a home! After five years in business and two years since we started planning our premises - I have moved into our new office! Just few paces from the farm house. Lucky to be able to work while enjoying one of the best views in the world 🏔️ 😀
