The jones and blewett Carbon project
The Jones and Blewett Carbon Projects, located in Queensland, have reached a key milestone with the issuance of 30,145 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) under the Australian Government’s ACCU Scheme. Developed in partnership with AgriProve, the projects are owned and managed by the Peart family and form part of their 4,800-hectare grazing enterprise, representing one of the largest soil carbon issuances achieved under the scheme to date.
The Peart family has implemented long-term rotational grazing systems supported by ongoing investment in fencing, water infrastructure, and pasture improvement. These practices have improved pasture resilience, increased carrying capacity over time, and strengthened overall farm profitability, while delivering verified increases in soil carbon now recognised through ACCU issuance.
Farm Profile
Enterprise: Large-scale grazing enterprise using rotational grazing
Location: Central Queensland
Project Area: Part of a 4,800-hectare family-run operationManagement Practices: Rotational grazing, infrastructure upgrades, pasture improvement
Outcome: 30,145 ACCUs issued under the ACCU Scheme
The Jones and Bleweitt Carbon Project
Rowan Peart: "We’ve effectively doubled our carrying capacity over the long term, but we’re still careful not to push the country too hard, that buffer matters when dry times come around. Healthier soils recover faster, and that resilience is worth just as much as the carbon credits themselves."
Project Highlights:
30,145 ACCUs issued under the ACCU Scheme, representing one of the largest soil carbon issuances to a single farming operation to date
Long-term rotational grazing, supported by sustained investment in fencing, water infrastructure, and pasture improvement
Significant improvements in carrying capacity achieved over time through disciplined farm management

Results
The Peart family has progressively transitioned to a disciplined rotational grazing system across their 4,800-hectare grazing enterprise in Queensland, with a strong focus on pasture recovery, ground cover, and long-term soil health. This approach has been supported by sustained investment in fencing, water infrastructure, and pasture improvement to enable controlled grazing and adequate rest periods.
These changes have driven significant improvements in pasture condition and livestock performance, enabling a substantial increase in carrying capacity over time while maintaining conservative stocking buffers to manage seasonal variability. Soil sampling and independent verification confirmed measurable increases in soil carbon, resulting in the issuance of 30,145 ACCUs under the Australian Government’s ACCU Scheme, representing one of the largest soil carbon outcomes achieved to date.
Ongoing Practices:
Rotational Grazing: Long-term rotational grazing systems that prioritise pasture rest, recovery, and ground cover across the operation
Infrastructure Investment: Ongoing upgrades to fencing and water infrastructure to enable controlled grazing and flexible paddock management
Pasture Improvement: Progressive pasture establishment and management to improve feed quality, resilience, and soil condition
Actively Managed Stocking Rate: Maintaining stocking buffers to manage seasonal variability and protect long-term land condition
Rowan Peart: "Our focus has always been on ground cover, pasture diversity and giving the country time to recover, we’ve seen the benefits in carrying capacity, livestock performance and how the country responds after dry periods. The carbon project hasn’t changed why we do what we do - it’s given us a way to measure and validate the results."
WHY AGRIPROVE
AgriProve uses data driven tools and unique financing mechanisms to make regenerative agriculture accessible and profitable for farmers. Partnering with landholders and industry leaders to mutually benefit from carbon project success. Our unique ACCU success fee model removes the risk and creates a true partnership for the entirety of the project.
Utilising AgriProve’s innovative, digitally enabled Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) model project partners benefit from the expedited soil sampling and carbon crediting process.
““The Peart family operates at scale, and achieving an issuance of this size requires consistency, patience and sound decision-making over many years.””
