Case Studies


DCAP Case Study - Aaron Kiely

Aaron Kiely is an Emerald based cotton farmer. Aaron’s family farm is on around 600 hectares of irrigation land which utilises flood and pivot irrigation. The farm is currently undertaking a five-year trial carbon sequestration project that is offering Aaron the opportunity to step into the space and monitor its potential.

DCAP Case Study - Kristy Appleton

Kristy Appleton’s mixed farming operation in Central Queensland has around 5000 acres under cultivation and also runs cattle. The farm has made a number of investments to protect against flood and drought, including contour management, soil conservation and scheduled crop rotations.
