what our members have to say…

My family have been members of the SCF group since 2009. We enjoy the events and relevant research they provide, field days and the social side of events and catching up with the farming community. Their trial work over the years has provided answers to some of the restraints encountered on our farm.

Stirlings to Coast Farmers have helped me explore solutions for non-wetting soils on our property at Tenterden. They initially obtained investment from the GRDC, and now that the project has finished, they are helping me implement more research on-farm. It’s great to have help with project design and yield analysis.

Stirlings to Coast Farmers (SCF) is a membership based, farmer led organisation, with a steadily increasing membership of over 85 farm businesses representing over 200 farmers and their families, who manage approximately 400 000 ha, predominantly south of the Stirling Ranges.

The group is recognised as being a progressive organisation with a steadily growing membership that is able to attract key sponsors as well as a growing number of corporate members.

The focus on research and development is supported by our R&D Team, as well as a Research Subcommittee led by one of our Management Committee members. This focus has led to a wide variety of trials being implemented either independently or in partnership with our sponsors.

SCF have a strong history of running very successful events.  This includes the Crop Updates, and Winter and Spring Field days, as well as many timely and season base field walks and workshops.  These events are planned and managed by two sub committees representing the west and east.

Communication of the latest farming opportunities, timely pest and disease alerts, and the latest R&D information through our members’ newsletter, eNews and regular emails ensure SCF members are kept up to date.

New members find that being a member of Stirling to Coast Farmers will be a very cost effective investment in the future of their farm business as well as being an opportunity to see what others are doing as well as sharing what they do with others. 

Annual membership fees for the year are $350 (plus GST and invoiced pro rata). Please complete the membership form below if you wish to become a Member and an invoice and membership pack will be sent out to you.
