West Midlands Group: Soil amelioration insights
Want to know what the West Midlands Group is doing differently with their cropping and pasture soil amelioration and crop rotations? Our host Grey Johnston was delighted to welcome Dr. Nathan Craig, Executive Officer of the West Midlands Group (WMG) in the studio to share WMG’s trials progress and some of the major outcomes delivered across the local shires of Dandaragan, Coorow, Gingin and Moora.
The West Midlands Group formed in 2003 and then in 2008 pivoted its focus towards agricultural research and development to find solutions to the broader on-farm natural resource issues that affect production.
In 2017, Dr. Nathan Craig joined the fold and has helped sharpen the group’s focus even more on producing high-quality data from local field trials to support the decision-making processes of their 350+ members.
In this episode, Dr. Craig tells us a bit about his own farming journey, from mixed enterprise farm management to his PhD from UWA on ‘Plant available nitrogen in monoculture wheat under long-term no-tillage.’ He also gives us his take on how the season’s progressing in the West Midlands and how they’re supporting group members.

We would love to hear from you! If you have any feedback on this episode or any other burning questions, get in touch with us @CSBPfertilisers on Facebook, X, Instagram, or LinkedIn.
