Regional Update - Ted Langley, Bordertown, SA

In this episode of Regional Update, we're joined by Bordertown farmer, Ted Langley!

Ted and his family run a zero till, 12m controlled traffic farm, growing wheat, faba beans, lentils, clover seed, pasture hay, oaten hay, canola and prime lambs.

Ted aims to hit all of the WeedSmart Big 6 tactics in his weed control operation. Soil health is one of his main priorities, and the lighter soils on the farm have been ameliorated twice. 

The family have also adopted 2 impact mills on their harvesters, to complement a diverse rotation plan, narrow row spacing and increased seeding rates, which they achieve with a disc system.

In addition to mixing and rotating herbicides, Ted is also careful with his spray water quality to ensure maximum efficacy.

Tune in to hear more about Ted's farming operation and weed control strategies!
