R&D Support for Farmers
Are you changing the way you farm?
We work with farmers who are testing new production systems, improving soil and animal outcomes, reducing input dependence, or transitioning toward regenerative agriculture.
Some of this work may be eligible for the Australian R&D Tax Incentive — but only where there is a genuine technical uncertainty, a structured experiment, and clear records of what was tested and learned.
This is not about claiming R&D for normal farming.
It is about identifying where you are genuinely developing and testing something new under your farm conditions. Ready? Start here.
We are interested in farmers working on questions such as:
Can we reduce synthetic inputs without losing production?
Can different feed or grain ratios improve animal performance or reduce costs?
Can a novel watering system improve water quality, animal health or survival?
Can regenerative grazing improve pasture recovery, soil function or drought resilience?
Can we produce more while giving more back to the land?
What we help with
We help farmers clarify whether their project has a genuine R&D pathway.
This may include:
- identifying the key technical question
- shaping the project into a structured trial
- defining what needs to be measured
- setting up simple farm records
- separating normal farming from experimental work
- supporting R&D Tax Incentive documentation
What we do not do
We are not accountants, tax agents or financial advisers.
We do not prepare tax returns, lodge R&D Tax Incentive claims, calculate tax positions, or provide financial advice.
Our role is focused on the science and evidence side of R&D.
We help identify the technical question, shape the project, define what needs to be measured, and support the records needed to show what was tested and learned.
We can work with your accountant or tax adviser to make sure they have the scientific and technical information they need to assess and support your claim.
Any financial, tax or accounting advice should be provided by your accountant or registered tax adviser.
First step
Complete the short farmer interest form here.
It should take around 5 minutes.
We will use your answers to understand your farm, your planned changes, and whether there may be a genuine R&D opportunity worth exploring.
Important note
The R&D Tax Incentive is only available where eligibility requirements are met. Completing this form does not guarantee eligibility or a successful claim. It simply helps us assess whether your project may be worth reviewing further.
