The project that brought you Mallee Sandy Soils Masterclass events in collab with the GRDC Sandy Soils project now brings you demonstrations investigating sandy soil constraint ID and paddock scale amelioration strategies. 

In this episode we catch up with Michael Moodie to talk about a new tool he has been working on to get a better understanding of the nature of the sandy soils we are dealing with.

The Topsoil Mapper has been developed as part of the National Landcare Program Soil Extension funding round to demonstrate to growers the importance of understanding soil constraints prior to developing a soil amelioration plan. 

Stay tuned as we roll out online interactive soil pits as part of this project and bring you more on topsoil mapping and demonstrations later in the year. 

This project has been supported by Mallee Sustainable Farming with funding from the Australian Government's National Landcare Program and the Grains Research Development Corporation.
