Let's make our community a better place!

Soil health is at the core of not only agricultural productivity, but resilience to drought, fire and flood. As part of the SQNNSW Innovation Hub’s commitment to supporting land managers, and those who support them, in enhancing soil management practices, we have run our third World Soil Day Competition.
🌿The Mastering Soil Health Group has 16 committed members across a range of enterprises brought together by a common interest in soil, peer to peer learning and practical activities.
🐑 Alice Moore from Casino is using Agtech and GIS, combined with on ground observation, to help identify areas of low productivity in her pasture and soil testing will be the next step.
🌾 Casey & Jack Travers run trade steers on Vertosol soils around Moree NSW. Being new to the region they are aiming to learn more about their soil as they improve soil health through legume incorporation and reducing soil disturbance, and deepen their understanding of soils so they can make better management decisions that support drought resilience.
Congratulations to our winners. Our Regional Soil Coordinator, Cameron Leckie, is looking forward to organising visits in the new year!
