Gettin' down and dirty with Beyond SoilCare
'How does my pasture grow?' is a question many farmers ask, and if they are not they should be! We see what's happening on the surface of pastures, but to check out what is going on underneath in the soil, we need to get down and dirty. That's exactly what farmers from the Strathbogie Ranges will be doing at an upcoming field day.
The Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority's (CMA) Beyond SoilCare project together with the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) is hosting a soil pit day on 28th May 2012 to look at the nuts and bolts of soil management. The soil pits will be at the site of the Strathbogie Alternative Fertiliser Trials, established by the Strathbogie Tableland Landcare Group.
