On this edition of the podcast, we’re looking at how giving the soil a light tickle can help with uniform weed control with Shane Kelly from Kelly Tillage.

We’re also going to have a chat with Tom Woods from Woods Group based in Goondiwindi about seed cleaning and what growers need to look out for across the entire chain to ensure the best quality seed is planted at seeding time.
