Supporting our community

Case IH is proud to support the agricultural community in Australia through a variety of initiatives.

In line with our values, we support organisations that improve productivity and sustainability for farmers, promote the involvement of young people in agriculture, and enhance the health and wellbeing of our community.

Case IH dealers are at the heart of their communities, and with Case IH's support, are also able to make donations to local charities and sporting groups, and participate in local charity events.

beyondblue - our official charity partner

We've teamed up with mental health organisation beyondblue to raise awareness of depression and anxiety in farming communities.

Case IH has also pledged to donate around $100,000 a year to the charity and we're calling on our staff, dealers and customers to help raise money.

According to beyondblue, around three million Australians are living with depression or anxiety and farmers, in particular, experience high rates of stress and depression compared to the general population.

Case IH will donate $50 from the sale of each new tractor, combine harvester, self-propelled sprayer, cane harvester, windrower and baler to beyondblue.

To help build awareness, stickers advertising the beyondblue advice line will be placed in all new Case IH agricultural machinery and beyondblue's literature on depression and anxiety is available at Case IH dealer outlets across the country.

We're breaking down the stigma associated with depression and anxiety by regularly posting on social media and involving beyondblue volunteers at field days and other events.

With so many people touched by depression, stress and anxiety, the team at Case IH Australia wanted to make a difference. This is why we are proud to support beyondblue as our official charity partner.

If you or someone you know needs support, learn how to tackle the problem by calling the beyondblue support line on 1300 224 636.

Australian Farmer of the Year - Young Farmer of the Year

Since 2013, Case IH has partnered with the Kondinin Group and ABC Rural to sponsor the Australian Farmer of the Year Awards, in the Young Farmer of the Year category.

We are looking for young farmers who are planning for the future: not just on their own farms, but helping others – young and old – to improve their farming practices and increase productivity.

Involvement in education and training, research groups and industry associations are attributes.

As members of the agriculture industry it's important that we tell positive stories about farming, and young people in our industry must be recognised for the role they play in raising the bar for future generations.

There are lots of young farmers who have a great story to tell.

Entrants should demonstrate good knowledge of workplace health and safety, sustainability and an interest in technology to help improve productivity.

In 2016, the Case IH Young Farmer of the Year is Troy Blackman.

SPAA - Precision Agriculture Australia

SPAA is a non-profit and independent membership based group formed to promote the development and adoption of precision agriculture technologies.

The association aims improve the profitability and sustainability of agricultural production systems via the adoption of precision agriculture.

Precision agriculture management offers many Australian farms the potential for a quantum increase in production efficiency.

SPAA's mission is to facilitate research, extension and the adoption of precision agriculture.

Case IH is proud to be a Silver Sponsor of SPAA.

RIRDC GrowAg

As part of its role in fostering excellence in agriculture and encouraging action to improve the productivity, sustainability and profitability of agriculture, the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR), together with the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) ran GrowAg – a three-day summit in Albury, NSW, bringing together the best of Australia's young emerging rural leaders.

Case IH was engaged as a Gold Partner for the event, gaining access to tomorrow's leaders in an engaging and compelling forum. The event also gave Case IH the opportunity to demonstrate to Government representatives, research and development corporations, corporate partners, speakers and delegates the valuable role that Case IH is playing in helping to shape Australia's agricultural sector.

Syngenta Growth Awards: CASE IH Award

Syngenta Growth Awards

Case IH is proud to be a presenting partner of the Syngenta Growth Awards. We have chosen to support the Growth Awards because we know that much of the success of our industry comes down to the good work of individuals – on their farms, in their businesses and in their communities.

We are proud to be part of an initiative that acknowledges our leading growers and advisers and recognises the important contribution they make. Global demand for food and fibre is only increasing, so the work these industry leaders are doing is not only inspiring; it's vital.

In 2016, the Case IH Award recipient was Allan Fong.
