Regional Land Partnerships Program – Farming Smarter – a soils project for the next generation

This project focuses on precision agriculture for pastures and working with the next generation of farmers to manage the risks of acidification and hill-slope erosion in the eastern Riverina. Riverina Local Land Services will use soil testing on a paddock scale in the topsoil (0-10cm) and subsoil (10-20cm) to measure soil pH and exchangeable cations. Precision agriculture technology will be used to generate soil management maps and guide producers’ decisions on investing in lie and perennial pastures on their properties.
