In this regional update, we're heading to the Western Region to catch up with Northampton farmer, Karl Suckling.

Karl has just finished an expansive soil amelioration project on his farm, which has been very successful, but it's meant he's had to take a break from growing lupins. He explains his approach and expands on what he'll be considering in the future for weed control at his place.
