In this episode, an expert with AgroLiquid says now is a good time to work with an agronomist to determine what products they want to apply.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we chat with Hamond Motsi, a PhD candidate in Soil Science at Stellenbosch University, about the vital role of soil sampling in agriculture.Motsi explores best practices for collecting soil samples, key soil health indicators, and the importance of sustainable soil management. He also discusses how soil sampling directly affects crop productivity and offers valuable advice for both commercial and small-scale farmers.

This week, we chat about the Mercosur deal with Adam, sheep prices and body condition scores with Darren and the Kerry deal with Aidan. We also talk to Grassland AGRO's Clodagh Bolger about the importance of soil sampling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What is the TRAX program, and how can that help growers?  Your hosts, Jeff and Sal, are joined in the podcast room by Joe Zimmerman and Glenn Longabaugh for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies.  Joe is the TRAX Agronomy Lead, and Glenn is a frequent guest and the Agronomist for Premier Companies.On today's episode, you'll learn more about Glenn and Joe's background, education, and career history.  You'll learn about the soil sampling process, the nutrients that are tested, and how the results are analyzed.  They'll also share how the system knows where each sample came from, how that informs the nutrient applications, and how the CropLink platform can provide data from current and previous years to help growers maximize their yield.  When it comes to utilizing TRAX and Croplink to make sure growers are planting and fertilizing in the appropriate amounts and locations, perhaps Glenn says it best.  “If Joe had more hair, they'd call him Goldilocks.  They don't put on too much, they don't put on too little, it's just right.”

Lightning Minerals Ltd (ASX:L1M) managing director Alex Biggs joins Proactive's Tylah Tully to discuss soil sampling and ground reconnaissance initiated at the Esperança Lithium Project in Minas Gerais' Lithium Valley, Brazil. This follows the signing of an option agreement to acquire the project in August 2024. The on-ground exploration team, currently working at the Canabrava and Caraíbas lithium projects, will apply a similar approach at Esperança, focusing on soil sampling, ground reconnaissance and geophysical interpretation. The Esperança exploration will cover ~500 soil samples to test the area's potential for lithium deposits, particularly around Salinas Formation rocks close to granites. Early results from the Canabrava project have already identified elevated lithium levels in soil assays up to 113ppm and additional results are expected soon from Caraíbas. Lightning Minerals is expediting its exploration activities by securing local teams to conduct the soil campaign quickly and cost-effectively. Biggs highlighted the importance of these efforts in consolidating their land holdings in the under-explored Lithium Valley, aiming for prioritised drill targeting in the coming months. Lightning is also undertaking targeted infill soil sampling at its Dundas Lithium Project in Western Australia to further define lithium drill targets as it tests previously identified lithium in soil anomalism of up to 147ppm #ProactiveInvestors #LightningMinerals #ASX #LithiumExploration #EsperançaProject #LithiumValley #BrazilLithium #CanabravaProject #CaraíbasProject #SoilSampling #Geophysics #MiningExploration #LithiumDeposits #BatteryMetals #MineralExploration #SustainableEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #MiningNews #Geology #Pegmatites #GreenEnergy #MineralsExploration #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

The Technical Review Workgroup (TRW) Bioavailability Committee recently published the "Guidance for Sample Collection for In Vitro Bioaccessibility Assay for Arsenic and Lead in Soil and Applications of Relative Bioavailability Data in Human Health Risk Assessment." This is an update to the 2015 Guidance for Sample Collection for In Vitro Bioaccessibility Assay for Lead (Pb) in Soil. The update is intended to help EPA risk assessors, remedial project managers, and on-scene coordinators develop and use bioavailability data at their sites. It incorporates sample planning and data analysis recommendations from EPA's Guidance on Systematic Planning Using the Data Quality Objectives Process that are pertinent to sampling for In Vitro Bioaccessibility (IVBA) and Relative Bioavailability (RBA). It also clarifies the application of IVBA and RBA data to human health risk assessment, the development of risk-based goals at CERCLA remedial and removal sites and includes arsenic (As) which was recently added to the In Vitro Bioaccessibility Assay. The TRW has developed a series of trainings based on the updated guidance. This session will focus on a discussion of soil sample collection and processing best practices and methods to directly measure relative bioavailability (RBA) or estimate RBA by measuring in vitro bioaccessibility via EPA Method 1340 at soil arsenic and lead contaminated sites.  This training will target a general audience of regional staff working in risk assessment, remediation, emergency response, technical support, and quality assurance. The training will be an approximately one hour long and will include time for general discussion. Members of the Bioavailability Committee and a Regional representative will be present to answer questions in real time.

Regardless of the task at hand, preparation and planning is a gateway for success. Too often in the world of food plots folks try to put the cart before the horse. Seed blends, food plot shape, planting methods, herbicides, all of these things are important but need to be addressed after the basics. One of the things that drives Mitch crazy is the amount of bad and/or misinterpreted information in the food plot world. Many food plotters have a lack of understanding as it relates to fertility and properly preparing soil for successful plant growth. Before you go purchase the next miracle juice or throw-and-grow mix, do the one thing that is cheap and yet provides the most information for getting started: TAKE A SOIL SAMPLE! This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch invites his boss Eric Rosenbaum to walk us through the basics in food plot planning. Eric is the owner and Senior Agronomist of Rosetree Consulting, a private agronomic consulting company that works with farms all throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and partly in Maryland and New Jersey. A large part of the job entails making cost effective decisions with growers that maximize plant yield and profitability. Nearly all of this begins with proper soil preparation! Eric walks us through the basics of how to pull a soil test, where to send it, how to interpret results, how to address deficiencies in a cost effective but also efficient way (especially with minimal equipment), and more. Lack of planning typically yields poor food plot results. Pull your samples now, and plan ahead to achieve maximum plant quantity and quality. Don't overlook the basics!  Check out the Sportsmen's Empire Podcast Network for more relevant outdoor content!

01 18 23 Soil Sampling by Ag PhD

Fish quotas were released this week, following negotiations between the UK and EU on what and how much can be caught where. The Government says the deal for 2023 will mean a further £282 million worth of fishing opportunities - an increase on 2022. But some marine conservation groups say scientific advice is being ignored and some fish stocks are still being over-fished. We join a group of 100 volunteers as they prepare to start collecting soil samples from 700,000 fields across Northern Ireland. It's for the Soil Nutrient Health Scheme, which is being rolled out by the Department for Agriculture in Northern Ireland and the Agri Food and BioSciences Institute. It'll provide farmers with detailed information on the nutrient status of their soil. And investigations are continuing after the mysterious death of 100 dairy cows on a farm in Jersey. A quarter of the herd of Jersey cows at Woodlands Farm have been lost, and scientists are analysing samples from the feed and the animals themselves to try and get to the bottom of what's happened. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons

Wildlife and conservation groups have criticised the government for the late publication of legally binding targets for environmental protection. The Wildlife Trusts and the Soil Association say failing to set key clean water targets is unacceptable and they also criticise a reduction in overall tree planting targets. However, DEFRA says the targets, which are requirements under the Environment Act "will drive forward action to tackle climate change, restore our natural capital and protect our much-loved landscapes and green spaces." A new deal to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and protect 30% of land and oceans across the world by 2030, has been agreed by almost 200 countries at the UN biodiversity summit, COP15. The Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey said the UK played a leading role in negotiations and the UK pledged up to 29 million pounds to help developing countries meet the ‘30by30' land target and other projects. Preliminary results of a new paper which has yet to be peer-reviewed, is reporting that the number of earthworms in soil may have reduced by a third over the last 25 years. The study by British Trust for Ornithology researchers collated 100 years of data. The Soil Nutrient Health Scheme is being rolled out by the Department for Agriculture in Northern Ireland and the Agri Food and BioSciences Institute, taking soil samples from 700,000 fields to provide farmers with detailed information on their soil. All week we're focusing on rural communities at Christmas. It's a time of year when we often spend a little more on food and at the Penllyn Estate in Cowbridge in Wales is encouraging shoppers to buy local produce over the festive season.
