The Glenelg-Hopkins region has a great diversity of soil types that reflect differences in parent material, topography, climate, organic activity and age e.g. degree of weathering. For agricultural purposes, many of these soils have some chemical and physical limitations e.g. acidity, which require careful management.Photo: Cultivated land near Gritjurk
