Seeder DBS 10" spacing for plant competition for ryegrass suppression
Changes the depth of knife blade under the seed for different crops. Breaking up cultivation hard pans.
4" under oats, 8 " under cereals and 2" under canola at seeding time.
VRT Lime and Gypsum. Soil pH ranges from different soil types. 4.2 - 7.0 pH
Kym has is own soil testing pH lab. Sample 15 spots per Hectare.
1200 ha crop & 500 ha oaten hay. Aim to produce 4-5000 tons grain & same in hay. No summer rain usually. Spread over 50km & GSR about 350mm? Undulating country. Uses DBS on 10" spacing for hay. pH ranges from 4.2 to 7. High attention to detail & believes in the benefits of variable rate technology for their highly variable soil types. Measure biomass to VR apply nitrogen. Canola hates waterlogging & loves nitrogen. Waterlogging areas receive 500kg urea (7% pdk) grow garnet & aim for 3.5 tons across the paddock. Without VR nitrogen wheat ranges from 1 ton to 6 ton /ha.
4 ton average country. Market price for land is $4000/ac in 80 acre block. Have a auto-rock picker machine, 300 ton year.
Have wood fire pizzas for lunch at NTS Rural. Meet Agronomist Grant Smith & Richard
