Jamie McMaster

Jamie studied for a Bachelor of Applied Science in Agriculture at the Roseworthy Campus, graduating in 1991. His studies focused on Irrigation, Horticulture, Soil Science and Marketing.

"I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in a scholarship exchange program between Roseworthy and the Colorado State University, Fort Collins Colorado, where I furthered my studies"

Jamie came back and studied for a Master of Agriculture in Soil Conservation at the Waite Campus. .

"This was a unique opportunity to learn from some of Australia's leading soil specialists and to contribute to a catchment management project in the Barossa Valley. This project was of considerable importance in terms of its research into nutrient management and dryland salinity issues"

Since finishing his studies, Jamie has worked for James Hardie Irrigation as an Agronomist and in Sales. For the past few years, Jamie has been employed by Incitec Ltd., one of Australia's largest fertilizer and agrichemical companies, working initially as an Agronomist and now as an Environmental Specialist through the eastern states.

"The opportunities and training I gained from my two degrees has provided me with the skills and confidence to undertake a wide range of agricultural and environmental opportunities. The soil science training in particular has already lead me to work in soil mapping and rehabilitation of contaminated land"
