Clevecourt Soil Carbon Project

Clevecourt Soil Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located at Bingara, approximately 70km west of Inverell in the North West Slopes region of NSW. It was registered in April 2026 and covers 1498.36ha.

Soil carbon projects involve adopting new or materially different agricultural management practices to increase the amount of carbon stored in the soil, which is then verified through rigorous soil sampling or approved models over a specific permanence period. This specific project aims to build soil carbon by altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing to promote soil vegetation cover and improve overall soil health.

The Bingara area is well known for beef cattle grazing and some broadacre cropping. The region is generally considered to have moderate, summer-dominant rainfall, and the soils largely consist of fertile cracking clays (vertosols) and clay loams.

This project takes place on "Clevecourt," the home base for Jac Wagyu, a highly successful, vertically integrated Wagyu beef operation run by project proponents Jason and Ann Lewis. The family-run farm has won numerous Meat Standards Australia (MSA) awards for its premium beef. The carbon project is co-managed by Atlas Agri Solutions Pty Ltd, the parent company behind MaiaGrazing, a technology platform that helps graziers optimize their grazing strategies to maximize both livestock performance and soil carbon potential.
