A big thank you to everyone who came along to the KCLG Soil Moisture Probe Information Day last Thursday 28th June.

We’d especially like to thank our presenters, Damien Gerrans from GeckCLaN and Adrian Orloff from MAC Systems, for sharing their knowledge and insights into soil moisture monitoring and how this technology can support informed farming decisions.

Thank you also to our generous hosts, Sarah and Stephen Crooke at the Gundowring site, for welcoming everyone and providing the opportunity to see the probe site first hand.

We hope everyone found the day valuable and that the information gathered from the probes will help support better farming decisions across the region. As more data is collected over time, we look forward to building an even stronger understanding of soil moisture trends and their practical applications.
