In this episode of the Farm Talk Podcast, part of the Future Drought Fund Project, consultants Chris McDonough and farmer Bruce Heddle from Minnipa discuss an innovative method to manage saline soils using chaff heaps as mulch.
They explore how spreading chaff has promoted crop growth in previously barren areas, detailing the practicalities and economic feasibility of this approach. Bruce shares his success and insights from applying up to 25 tonnes of chaff per hectare, leading to significant improvements in crop establishment and soil cover.
The conversation also touches upon grazing management strategies to maintain soil health.
