You are invited to join us through Zoom for this virtual field day, where we will explore the Rapid Soil Assessment Tool (RSAT) and how you can use this simple
in-paddock assessment to further inform your nutrient and pasture management decisions. Agronomist Chris Alenson, who helped develop the tool, will be guiding us through the RSAT process. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and discuss how you found the RSAT. In preparation for this event you will be required to watch a series of RSAT videos (30 mins) and also have trialled the use of the RSAT on one of your own paddocks (up to 2 hours). This event will be held on Friay 26th of June, from 10am-12pm. Please email [email protected] or phone 0409 705 652 for more information.
