| Abstract | In 2006, workshops were held with 8 farmers in the Liebe and Mingenew-Irwin Groups in the northern agricultural region of the Western Australian (WA), and at a field day with the Kellerberrin Demonstration Group, located in the central wheatbelt of WA. Farmers were assisted in creating management zones in their paddock by drawing a “mud map” which integrated their own knowledge about the variability of soils and yield across a paddock with other precision agriculture spatial data such as yield maps, electromagnetic survey (EM), gamma radiometrics, biomass imagery, stability analysis, soil testing and interpretation. During the process the farmers were asked to consider the following questions in relation to their own knowledge or “mud map”: • Do they have spatial variation with in their paddocks and by how much does it vary? • Is the crop performance stable over time i.e. good yielding areas always perform well? • What do they think is causing the spatial variation and stability? • What other information do they need to make a management decision? |
