Soil & Carbon Masterclass at Boolah Farms

19th February 2026

Recently, Ned had the opportunity to speak at the Soil & Carbon Masterclass hosted by Boolah Farms in Pallamallawa, delivered in partnership with Loam Bio and OptiSoil.

It was encouraging to see farmers, advisers and industry partners come together to explore practical approaches to improving soil function, building soil carbon and strengthening farming systems for the long term.

Ned was pleased to share insights alongside Assoc Prof Richard Flavel and Dr Anders Claassens, with discussions grounded in both science and real paddock experience. The field component at Dimboola provided a valuable opportunity to continue conversations and examine soil variability and function in context.

At OptiSoil, we are committed to applying rigorous soil science to practical farm management. Events like this highlight the importance of collaboration between growers, researchers and industry to drive productive and sustainable agricultural systems.

Thank you to Boolah Farms for hosting, to Loam Bio for their partnership, and to everyone who attended and contributed to such a thoughtful and practical session.
