This is a beauty! Lol Whoever did this, thank you!

Excellent field day at Dulucca on #SoilConstraints with @Stirling_Soil shown here demonstrating soil strength and applied amendments leading to real gains. @DAFQld @ILSE_USQ @theGRDC @GRDCNorth #AgInnovation

@InnovationFarm7 @TTQAgriculture @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @ILSE_USQ @GazeyC @InnovationFarm7 similar, needs to get as deep as ~80cm to remove legacy compaction from heavy machines, add organic matter, amendments (lime and/or gypsum, sulphur for alkalinity) and polymers. Integrated constraint management is the goal. #SoilConstraints #SoilRenovation

[John McLean Bennett @mclean_bennett]

Time to get this innovation into the field. Can’t wait! @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @ILSE_USQ #SoilConstraints

[TTQ Agriculture @TTQAgriculture]

Another exciting project to be working on!
This rig is being made for use in trials on the deep placement of gypsum
Front 3 tynes are Super Raptor ones that can go up to 800mm deep
On the back we'll put 5 specially modified shanks that will place other product to trial
