Soil moisture workshop at 'Bogandillan', Rand next week!
🌱💧 Thinking about soil moisture this season? It might be the most valuable data you collect.
Monitoring soil moisture helps you make smarter decisions about your crops and pastures – especially when conditions turn dry. It can guide you on:
• when to irrigate to avoid crop stress
• when to apply fertiliser
• how to prevent waterlogging
• how to match stocking rates to pasture availability.
In short, it helps you plan ahead and get the best return on your investment.
There are plenty of ways to monitor soil moisture – from the simple “shovel test” to more advanced soil moisture probes that track moisture and temperature at different depths. Want to see what probe data looks like in a real pasture system? Check out Farming Forecaster: https://bit.ly/4prbXPa
💭 Thinking about installing probes on your own farm? Questions like “Will I use the data?”, “Is it easy to interpret?” and “Will it pay off?” are common – and we’ll be unpacking all of them at our upcoming Soil water monitoring and soil tests for decision making workshop in on Thursday 4 June.
