In this episode of the MSF Farm Talk podcast, Tanja Morgan discusses recent field day events, focusing on various soil amelioration treatments observed at Jock McNeil's paddock at Paruna.

Chris McDonough and Tanja take a walk describing the effects observed from the different techniques such as deep ripping, inversion plowing, and spading, analysing their impacts on soil profiles, root growth, crop health, and weed management.

Local farmers and consultants like Bernie Lehman, Jeff Braun, and Skeet Lawson share their experiences and preferences for optimal soil management practices.

The episode also highlights the need for addressing soil acidity and the importance of ongoing trials to improve crop yields in challenging dry conditions.
