Farmacist are working with the QLD Department of Environment and Science to deliver the Going the Distance project over the next two cropping seasons (2024-24 & 2025-26). The Sugarcane Practice Change Program works directly with growers and aims to boost farm productivity while reducing nutrient and sediment loss to waterways that flow to the Great Barrier Reef. This project will provide agronomy support, farm yield constraint mapping and nutrient management planning for up to 20 Sugarcane growers across the Proserpine River, O’Connell River, Pioneer River and Plane Creek catchments.
Farmacist began providing agronomy services in the Mackay and Burdekin regions in 2010. Our dedication to farmer’s needs, high quality service and support, application of the latest technology and R&D, and ultimately practical and precise agronomy, has seen the company grow to more than 40 qualified staff servicing industries and farmers from Northern NSW to Far North Queensland. We are proud to now be the largest independent agronomic provider to the Australian sugar industry.
