A ripper of a day Tassie’s East Coast.

Yesterday we were were overseeing and checking the accuracy of the ripping for the start of the 75ha of vines being planted at the Fogerty Wye River Vineyard this year at Swansea. This is the start of a 500ha project which will happen over the next few years.

It is great to see all the months of planning come to fruition.

Over the past 12 months I have been working on one of the most unique and exciting vineyard designs I have done to date where the owners, Bird in Hand, have taken the bold move to do things differently by ditching the traditional straight rows and introducing curved rows to their vineyard at Seymour on the east coast of Tassie.

The drone footage taken by Marty Smith from Absolute Viticulture shows how the desktop design has been transformed onto the ground after the rows have been ripped on the 1st stage of the development.

This vineyard really will be unique and I look forward to seeing how Bird in Hand develop the vineyard over time.

The next step will be the marking out the trellis.

AgAssist had the job of conducting the soil survey, block design and setting out of the first stage planting at Fogarty Wine’s Forcett vineyard. With a team of 6 we managed to mark out the 25,000 posts in good time ready for the trellis install.

These are the photos with the posts now installed and ready to run the trellis wire.

More pics of the mole drainage plough in action. For it to work the subsoil must have more than 30% clay and must be moist enough to be able to roll it up into the thickness of a pencil. After the plough went through we dug a hole to see the tunnel created by the mole.

Here is the mole draining plough in action at the Bignell’s Bream Creek Dairy. The mole creates a self-supporting 100mm tunnel at around 600 to 700mm deep where water will run down the slot created by the tyne. This will help drain the soil and prevent water logging = happy grass = happy cows. The plough is available for hire - call 0409 963 201 for more info.

AgAssist’s new Mole Draining Plough has arrived and is available for hire. It is an affordable way to drain paddocks with clay subsoils and now is the time to do it while there is sufficient subsoil moisture. Watch this space for more pics and videos on how it works.

As of last month AgAssist now provides sales, support and installation of the New-Zealand developed TracMap system which offers a complete precision guidance system for farmers and contractors to plan, place and prove their in-field activities.

I have a TracMap system in the ute and it has made the job of locating paddocks and geo-referencing soil sampling sites so much easier.

The TracMap units are used extensively in horticulture, broadacre farming and grazing operations for guidadance, proof of placement and even yield mapping.

TracMap also provide machinery and vehicle tracking systems.

For more inormation visit tracmap.com or look up TracMap on Facebook to find their page.

NRM South and AgAssist will be running two workshops at the Festival of Bright Ideas tomorrow (Sat Aug 13). We will be showing you how to do your own basic garden or farm soil tests and will be discussing the science behind these tests. You are more than welcome to bring your own soils if you like. We look forward to seeing you there.
