LandWISE – Promoting sustainable land management

Soil Health for Profit – Josh Wing

Posted on April 23, 2026

Josh Wing is a Senior Agronomist with Harvest Moon in Tasmania, bringing more than 30 years of agricultural experience to vegetable production. Raised on a mixed family farm conducting dairy, beef, potatoes and raspberry production, Josh developed a deep respect for the land and the environment from an early age. Reflecting this connection to nature, his family established a wildlife park on the farm in 2000, which continues to operate today.

Josh joined Harvest Moon in 2012 as a Carrot Production Manager and transitioned into agronomy in 2020. Today, he oversees agronomic programs across more than a dozen crops, including carrots, onions, swedes and beans, working closely with production teams to optimise crop performance, efficiency and sustainable farming outcomes.

Session Synopsis

Growing multiple vegetable crops across a farming operation the size of Harvest Moon requires constant decision-making, careful timing and a deep understanding of what crops need at every stage of growth. In this session, Josh will walk through how Harvest Moon manages nutrient applications across more than a dozen crops using a combination of field experience, soil and sap testing, and modern data tools.

He will explain how the team schedules and calculates nutrient inputs throughout the season, how they identify inefficiencies in the system, and how these insights feed into broader Integrated Pest Management strategies. By continually measuring and refining what happens in the field, Harvest Moon is able to reduce risk, improve crop health and optimise yield.

The session offers practical, real-world insights for growers looking to sharpen their nutrient strategies, improve efficiency and get more value from the data already available in their farming systems.
