About the Soil CRC

For nearly a decade, the Cooperative Research Centre for High Performance Soils (the Soil CRC) has advanced how Australian agriculture understands, measures, and manages its most fundamental asset: soil. 

Established under the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) Program, the Soil CRC was designed as a long-term, industry-led collaboration to move soil science beyond isolated research projects and into practical, scalable solutions that help farmers improve on-farm decision-making for productivity and resilience.

 

Project activities

The Soil CRC Adoption Plan is supporting MFMG's adoption activities to extend the Soil CRC's research findings.

MacKillop Farm Management Group will undertake Extension activities including:

• Seminar: Soil CRC ' Soils in Focus', Keith: March 2026: Leading scientists in soil research will present the latest soil project outcomes from the Soil Cooperative Research Centre (Soil CRC). This seminar is for farmers, advisors and researchers and will share practical farmer-facing solutions from recent soil projects.

 

• Collaborative event, October 2026 - Conmurra Field Day: Resilient Soil and Crops

           Thursday 22 October, 9.30am to 4.00pm, Conmurra. 

Research project findings will be shared as practical, scalable solutions for farmer decision making via the production of a short video, and an episode for The Prosperous Farmer podcast.
