OM DENNE EPISODE
Ever wondered what your soil might be trying to tell you?
This week on The AG Show, we're digging into the world beneath our feet and finding out how better soil data can help farmers make smarter decisions on farm. We hear from Soil Benchmark co-founder Tom Scrope, who explains how his work caught the attention of the European Space Agency, bringing together insights gathered from what lies below the surface and satellites far above.
We also catch up with an Oxfordshire mixed farmer to hear what he's learned from taking a closer look at his own soils, and how that knowledge is helping shape decisions back on the farm.
Plus, Charlotte and Phil round up a few of the stories that have caught their eye this week, from SFI to large record-breaking vegetables.
