DIY Soil Sampling Training Day

Join fellow farmers & DPIRD Officers to learn how to collect accurate soil samples on your farm.

By the end of the day you will know how to:

• Take accurate soil samples that represent your farm.
• Set-up the sampling drill and auger.
• GPS your sample locations.
• Use sample bags correctly.

This training is mandatory for all participants of the Healthy Estuaries WA and Soil Wise DIY soil sampling program, but everyone is welcome.
