Targeting balanced nutrition and productivity constraints in the Herbert was a two-year project conducted in the Herbert River catchment, involving 19 cane growers across more than 5000 hectares of cane land. In this episode, we hear from one of those growers who participated in the project. The project was delivered by Sugar Research Australia (SRA) in partnership with Herbert Cane Productivity Services Limited (HCPSL). It was funded under the $4.38 million Sugarcane Practice Change Program, funded through the Queensland Government’s Queensland Reef Water Quality Program.
