Regional Update – Don Sampson, Central Queensland
Got a question or topic you're interested in? Send us a text!
In this Regional update, we head to Central Queensland, to hear from farmer Don Sampson.
Don uses a blade plough that cuts weeds off at the roots without inverting the soil.
This maintains soil moisture in his conservation farming system.
We met Don back in 2019 at our Emerald WeedSmart Week event, so we’re going to hear how he’s been going and how effective the blade plough has been over the last few years.
