MICHAEL EYRES & ED SCOTT: A Soil Pit Will Never Lie

Over the past decade, Field Systems Australia founder Michael Eyres and Soil Science Australia vice president Edward Scott have stood in around 7000 soil pits around the world. They focus on soil performance in managed agricultural landscapes, and help farmers identify the most limiting factors affecting production. From that starting point they generate soil management strategies that result in profitable outcomes. In this episode they cover precision agriculture, building carbon in broadacre cropping systems and a whole lot more. One of the big take home messages for farmers is to have confidence in the changes you’re making but be patient. Sometimes it takes a few years to see the impacts of the change.
