Sally Poole

Sally Poole (L: Sally Poole) is an Agronomist and Digital Ag consultant with 7 years’ experience working in broadacre and cotton production across southern QLD and northern NSW.

Recently, Sally has taken the plunge back into full time study and is currently doing a Master of Philosophy at The University of Sydney. She is researching the use of digital tools to map and understand the interactions between soil water and subsoil constraints, and their influence on crop yield.

Although Sally did not grow up in a farming community, her passion for agriculture and improving global food security has taken her on many adventures around Australia and the world. She is an advocate for sustainable agricultural development, diversity in agriculture, and agricultural innovation.

She has been fortunate enough to participate in many industry programs including being an Australian Grains Future Leader in 2022 where she completed a project looking at the sustainability of grain production in both Australia and Kenya.

Sally is also on the board of Crop Consultants Australia as the communication director where she is passionate about growing connections and knowledge between members, the association, and the wider industry.
