With results of 19 current farm trials backed up with the chance to engage with farm experts the Boolah Field Day is the network format farmers are seeking
Around 400 farmers, agronomists, agtech leaders and data specialists took part in the largest commercial-scale regenerative trial farm event open to the public, Boolah Farms in Pallamallawa NSW.
An observation from the very start, this event could easily run for a week due to the extensive trials program, and it would give more interstate farmers the chance to see more innovative ways of farming first-hand.
As it was, farmers at the event came away with the most valuable information they are liable to pick up this season, and it was all free of charge to attend.
This industry-shaping event featured 19 farm trial results, gave access to expert speakers and panel sessions, and offered enormous scope for industry networking opportunities, along with an informative trade show.
The Boolah Farms field day gave more than insight, it offered a powerful look at how real-world data is shaping and driving value within sustainable agriculture under the 2025 theme of ‘Dirt to Data’.
Boolah CEO and Founder, Stuart Tigheexplains the basis of the event, “We give fellow farmers the chance to take a close-up look at innovative regenerative techniques and technologies being trialled at commercial scale.
“A Boolah we operate under the Regen4real framework, providing practical insights and strategies that can be implemented on the ground, that helps attendees understand the decisions we make in the soil need to be guided by the right data.
Boolah Field Day spectacular growth
Since the outstanding success of the 2024 farm trials, Boolah has experienced phenomenal growth, increasing its active trials from 12 to 19 and announcing an expansion interstate prior to the 2025 event.
The 2025 Field Day marked the official launch of Boolah’s new trial farm in Donald VIC with a full delegation travelling north to Pallamallawa to attend the event.
This expansion will continue to move across other states in the next 12 months.
Boolah CEO and Founder, Stuart Tighe outlined the practical aspects of the Field day, “The 2025 event fully reflects the growing momentum behind Boolah Pure Network’s Regen4real framework, for verifiable, customised data collection in agriculture.
“The focus of the 20205 event was to provide practical insights and strategies that can be implemented on the ground, at a commercial scale.
“Through our theme ‘Dirt to Data’, we wanted to help attendees understand that the decisions we make in the soil need to be guided by the right data. The day will help growers ask the right questions, learn how to collect the right data, and apply it in ways that deliver real returns – economically and environmentally,” Stuart Tighe added.
“We’ll also show attendees the innovative regenerative techniques and technologies being trialled at commercial scale at Boolah under our Regen4real framework, that includes a data dashboard used for managing and reporting sustainability,” Stuart Tighe concluded.
With a growing reputation as a must-attend event on the ag calendar, the 2025 Field Day attracted over 400 participants from across all states.
With sponsorship from major Field Day partner Asahi Beveridges, and long-term Trial Farm Partners, Mort & Co, and Barrett Burston Malting, the event remained free to attend, honouring Boolah’s commitment to shared knowledge and inclusive growth.
David Engel, Regional Head of Raw Material Procurement at Asahi added, “We’re excited to be part of an event that showcases how data is being used to inform smarter, more sustainable decisions from the paddock to the processor.
“I’m particularly looking forward to hearing how others in agriculture are using data to improve sustainability outcomes and share how Asahi have begun adapting the Regen4real framework used at the Boolah Trial Farms,” David Engel concluded.
