Soil health is one of his main priorities, and the lighter soils on the farm have been ameliorated twice. The family have also adopted 2 impact mills on their harvesters, to complement a diverse rotation plan, narrow row spacing and increased seeding rates, which they achieve with a disc system.In addition to mixing and rotating herbicides, Ted is also careful with his spray water quality to ensure maximum efficacy.Tune in to hear more about Ted's farming operation and weed control strategies!Learn more about WeedSmart and the Big 6 framework for proven weed management practices by visiting our website. Don't forget to follow us on our socials @WeedSmartAUTwitter/X Facebook Instagram Bluesky LinkedIn Keen for a monthly update?  Subscribe here!Got a question or topic you are interested to hear about?  Send us an email: [email protected] up our other WeedSmart podcasts & audio: #RegionalUpdates & #BeyondResistance podcasts for great stories from across the Australian growing regions.  #Paddocktalk fortnightly weed management news & updates for you.#drivesafe #farmsafe
