Step Through the Gate - Join the Changemakers

The Wilmot Field Day, proudly presented by Macdoch Australia and Impact Ag Australia, is a flagship event in the Australian agricultural calendar and has grown to become Australia’s Premier RegenAg Event. Now entering its eighth year, this two-day event is held at the iconic Wilmot Cattle Co property in the New England region of NSW. Scheduled for 4-5 March 2026, the Wilmot Field Day is an immersive experience that attracts a national audience of influential and forward-thinking graziers and producers, agribusiness leaders, and sustainability champions.

The program features a dynamic conference lineup, hands-on workshops, and guided paddock walks that bring climate-smart farming practices to life. It provides a unique opportunity for attendees to explore how planned grazing and regenerative agriculture can drive productivity, resilience, and profitability while building natural capital.

Co-hosted by Coles' 2015 Farmer of the Year, Victorian producer Grant Sims, and plant and soil health educator, Joel Williams, this interactive session will explore the relationship between soils, crops, pastures and livestock in a multi-enterprise farming system.

Together, Grant and Joel will delve into the science of plants and soils, discussing seed treatments and biologicals, plant nutrition, livestock integration and multi-species pastures, fodders and cover crops.

Hear from Grant about the transformation of his family farming enterprise through these strategies, which have increased productivity and business resilience. Discover how this transformation, through connected supply chains and high value market opportunities, is securing the future for Grant's family farm and reshaping conversations about sustainable production.

With a mix of theory, practical and Q&A, this session will give you plenty of ideas to take back to your own business.
