Andrew Wooldridge (or Wooly as he is better known) has spent the last 24 years helping to improve soil health across New South Wales. A Salinity Technical Specialist by day, he also runs his own farm business with his wife Margie at Canowindra.

In this episode, Wooly shares the importance of reading our landscape, including learning to manage the water balance on farm, to knowing the key early indicators that can help identify if salt is an issue in our farming system. He also discusses what actions producers can take to better prevent and manage salt-affected areas.

Local Land Services Natural Resource Management Officer Jasmine Wells caught up with Wooly out in the field on one of his recent visits to a new salt outbreak site.
