Southern Dirt aims to create and sustain vibrant, healthy, prosperous farms and communities
Southern Dirt is one of Western Australia’s leading grower groups, encompassing some of WA’s most productive land and representing some of the states’ most innovative farmers. Our region extends from Boddington to Frankland and everywhere in between from the coast to the Wheatbelt. An area that encompasses over 2600 mixed farming enterprises. If you farm, live and/or run a business within this area, Southern DIRT can have direct relevance to you.
Supported by a dedicated committee of farmers and industry specialists our aim is to create and sustain vibrant, healthy, prosperous farms and communities through:
- The delivery of innovative research and development activities that have high value impact on farmers in our region and throughout Australia
- Introduction, information and showcasing of innovative technologies and systems
- Interactive collaborations with Government – local, state and federal, Leading R and D companies, Industry bodies, other Grower Groups, Agricultural R and D funding bodies, education institutions and local community organisations and businesses within the region.
- Alliances and amalgamations with smaller grower and NRM groups in the region.
- Development of a highly interactive hub model to manage local engagement
- Social and community events and workshops
We also have a young farmers network that aims to support, coach and inspire our young and developing farmers to grow a sustainable agribusiness and cultivate personal and professional relationships across WA’s Southwest and beyond.
