For all Neerim District landholders:
The Farmers Digging Deeper project and its partners are running an introductory program for landholders who are at an early stage in their learning about soils and soil testing. The program includes soil testing on your farm plus two workshops designed to help you better understand your soils and interpret your soil test results.
The program will cost you $150 + GST which covers:
- 2 soil chemistry tests
- 1 biology (microbial mass) test
- 1 soil carbon test
- 2 interactive workshops
Note that soil sampling will take place in late spring 2022, with the workshops being held in autumn 2023.
For those landholders west of the Main Neerim Road, ie in the Western Port Catchment, including the Tarago Catchment, the information about the program and how to register your interest is in the link below.
Please submit your EOI by Wed 31st August.
