In the second part of the Australian farm story we bring news from different farms in Western Australia. All of these farms have had a major problem with soil hardening pans. After the experience with Terraland TO we can say one pass of ripping gives a quick revitalization to the soil and farms get very good results on the yields afterwords.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

\nUVEE FOUR FARMS\u00a0<\/strong>where work manager\u00a0Scot Morgan is farming on 7500 Ha. I<\/strong>n the fields grows canola on 1125 Ha, wheat on 5250 Ha and lupine also on 1125 Ha. Soil type of the fields is sand clay and gravel. Problems on the field were compaction, accidity-low pH, mixing and deep pan hardening.<\/p>\n

They used a BEDNAR product \u2013the\u00a0Terraland TO 6000 CT<\/strong>F\u00a0<\/strong>with tractor CNH Quad track 500 on tracks. Depth control for the lupines was 500 mm and for wheat 550 mm.<\/p>\n

Farm renovated on 1000 ha. There were little trails in different areas and bigger trails on lupines.<\/p>\n

Scot Morgan knows Bednar machinery from Mingenew Expo and got recommendations from farmers Rob Kitto and Paul Messina.<\/p>\n

\nTotad Gin Farming<\/strong>\u00a0which is the\u00a0family farm of the Dalton\u2019s is managing 8500 ha.\u00a0<\/strong>On the fields grows wheat, canola, barley, oats, fill peas, lupines. Problems on the field were hard pan, incorporating, mixing, extra nutrients reaching and dead soil in low profiles.<\/p>\n

They used the BEDNAR product \u2013 the\u00a0Terraland TO 6000 CTF<\/strong>. Depth was between 350-450 mm. It depended on parts of the arable areas. On the hill side hard pan, was at depth of 350 mm.<\/p>\n

Dalton\u00b4s family farm renovated 750 ha all in canola. After using a\u00a0Terraland TO 6000 CTF\u00a0<\/strong>there were decreasing differences in soil profile and good mixing organic mass. It was better for germination and soil aeration. Terraland brings potassium to the upper soil profile.<\/p>\n

\nAfter ripping there was a big difference in soil profile, nice even length of canola and thick stubbles. Plants are strongerwith massive straight root systems. Better flowering process and biomass is increasing.<\/p>\n

The Dalton\u00b4s knows Bednar from Meriden research field day.
