Daly Pty Ltd

Daly Pty Ltd is a soil carbon project located near Young in the Hilltops region of the South West Slopes in New South Wales. It was registered in June 2021 and covers 1174.81 ha.

Soil carbon projects using the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models methodology aim to increase the amount of carbon stored in agricultural soils. This type of project requires proponents to introduce new eligible land management activities and verify the carbon stored through rigorous baseline and subsequent soil sampling combined with modelling.

The Hilltops area surrounding Young is historically known as a major agricultural hub, renowned for its cherry and stone fruit orchards, as well as mixed farming enterprises including sheep, cattle, and grain cropping. The region typically experiences moderate, reliable rainfall suitable for agriculture and features fertile red loams and sandy loam soils.

This project was established to increase carbon in the soil of the property's agricultural system by converting from intensive tillage practices to reduced or no-tillage practices. In November 2025, the project was officially updated to transition from the older 2018 soil carbon measurement methodology to the newer 2021 measurement and models determination. The project is supported by the carbon service provider and agent, Climate Friendly Pty Ltd.
