Upper Horton Soil Field Day

The following video was filmed at a field day hosted by North West Local Land Services and Hart Rural with support through the Regional Land Partnerships Agriculture Program through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.

This video is of Dr Rob Banks describing a soil pit. Soil is the most important asset you have on your farm. Knowing what soil you have, it’s characteristics and it’s limitations is important to managing your pastures.
