Started using the soil moisture probes from the DPIRD guide. Already seeing better water allocation decisions for our winter crop. The real-time data is a game-changer for scheduling irrigation.

The water endurance calculator confirmed we need another 50kL tank before summer. Worth the subscription ten times over. Anyone else in Northampton looking at similar storage upgrades?

New resource approved: 'Seasonal Climate Forecasting for Wheatbelt Farmers' — verified against BOM methodology. Available now in the knowledge base. This one's essential reading for planting decisions.

Attended the North Midlands community grants info session yesterday. The $15k grants are a real opportunity for local drought-resilience projects. Applications close October 16 — get in touch if you need help with the application.

Reminder: the community feed is for constructive discussion. Please keep posts relevant to drought resilience. Personal attacks and off-topic posts will be moderated. Thanks everyone for keeping this space useful.

Has anyone tried the native vegetation restoration methods from the DBCA report? Looking at a 40-hectare site near Northampton and wondering about survival rates in the first year.

Started a small revegetation project on our property using local seed. Three months in and the natives are establishing well despite the dry. Happy to share what worked if anyone is interested.

The soil moisture monitoring guide in the knowledge base is excellent. We installed probes last week and already changed our irrigation schedule based on the data. Worth a read if you have not seen it.
