About this listen
Adam Campbell with his family operates Springlake Farming; a 3350ha broadacre farming enterprise at Corack , north of Donald. There are 2 distinct soil types on the farm: heavy self-mulching grey clay found commonly in the Wimmera district and a more Mallee-type soil comprising red clay and red sandy loam. Both require different management approaches.
With a priority on soil health, Adam undertakes minimum tillage practices including direct drilling, stubble retention and inter-row cropping. Hay production is also included in paddock rotations to manage chemical resistance, build nitrogen, and carbon levels in the soil.
Adam implements effective management strategies by utilizing sheep grazing, off-farm employees (contractors and Overseas students) and marketing options for grain and hay to run a profitable farming business.
