For the love farming, the biggest job on Earth

In a world of mounting challenges, farmers face the monumental task of feeding and clothing an ever-expanding population amidst tightening regulations and environmental uncertainties.

From battling pests and weeds to embracing breakthroughs and setbacks, farmers embody resilience and dedication every day. That’s why farming is the biggest job on Earth.

At BASF, our love for farming goes beyond providing innovative solutions. It extends to standing by farmers through every season. We offer support to growers and advisors, leveraging our expertise in innovation to protect their crops and enhance their capabilities, while also strengthening regional and rural communities.

Our love to farming is about building a sustainable future for agriculture by connecting innovation, customers, and society. 

The biggest job on Earth

The breakthroughs. The setbacks. Season after season.


All for the love of farming, the biggest job on Earth.

Tamworth Farm

Local research, local performance, global impact. 

Russell Ison is the Farm Manager and Field Biologist at BASF’s Tamworth CropSolutions Farm. 
“After working as an agronomist for twenty five years, I can confidently say that Australia’s growers are great innovators. They need to be, to succeed in one of the world’s most varied and unpredictable climates. 
Farming in this country is about controlling what you can, extracting productivity gains, managing costs and overcoming hurdles through a season. Sustainability is central to any successful operation.  
Recognising this, our team began developing the BASF CropSolutions farm eight years ago in Tamworth, NSW.

Community Paddock

Strengthening local communities from the ground up  

Rupanyup grain grower Rodney Weidemann, along with his business partner Andrew Weidemann, is the owner of Weidemann Pastoral Co.  
“Our people are the lifeblood of Australia’s agriculture communities. But it’s no secret that regional communities across Australia face significant challenges. The community spirit is as strong as ever, but we’re having to be more tactical when it comes to keeping the doors open in many of our cornerstone organisations.  
This year we partnered with BASF on their first Community Paddock project designating one of our paddocks as an investment in our community.
