WICC (in partnership with the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation) is offering a scaled down version of the Whole Farm Nutrient Mapping Program to growers in the Wilson Inlet Catchment who applied for this program... but did not get in this year due to the program being over subscribed.
This is roughly how it will work...

Example of Fertcare Indexed Tables

Each soil sample will be analysed for...
Standard Phosphorus (Colwell) - Potassium (Colwell) - Sulfur (KCl 40) - Organic Carbon (Walkley Black) - Nitrate Nitrogen - Ammonium Nitrogen - Electrical Conductivity - pH (Water) - pH (CaCl2) - Phosphorous Buffering Index
Standard Phosphorus (Colwell) - Potassium (Colwell) - Sulfur (KCl 40) - Organic Carbon (Walkley Black) - Nitrate Nitrogen - Ammonium Nitrogen - Electrical Conductivity - pH (Water) - pH (CaCl2) - Phosphorous Buffering Index
Please note that the above process may vary slightly (we have never offered this before). The DWER has agreed to include the agronomic advice under this alternative program. There is a minimum fee of $300 per participant. This means if a participant only sampled 6 paddocks the cost would be $300, if they sampled 8 paddocks the cost would be $339.20 plus GST. This DIY program relies on you picking up and returning soil sampling equipment, taking your own samples and dropping at post office. You will be required to attend a soil sampling Field Day where you will be taught how to carry out best practice soil sampling and also attend a workshop (Feb/March 2021) where you will be provided your results.
