Profit up and inputs down make the best mix
Northern Victorian grain grower Murray Gilby has slashed his fertiliser bill in half and increased grain yield and profit after switching to a soil rejuvenator. Mr Gilby, of Kotupna, has also been able to reduce screenings in cereal crops and cut fungicides and insecticides from the agronomic program after using the organically certified TM Agricultural. “We are on a mission to reduce inputs by as much as we can,’’ he said. “There has been a huge saving in fertiliser. Up front, the bill this year is $25,500 – down from $67,000.’’
