Join us in Tintinara for practical workshop aiming at “digging deeper” than the first 10cm of soil to assist in with pasture performance and management decisions.

Led by Sunlight Soil Strategists you will learn exploring how sandy soils behave at depth and the management strategies that can help improve productivity and resilience. You’ll also hear and see the latest results from local Veldt grass nutrition demonstration trials, take part in soil pit demonstrations extending more than a metre deep, and gain insights into nutrient and fertiliser management for productive pastures.
