About Dawson Agriculture
Local knowledge. Trusted support. Proven results.
Dawson Agriculture is a family-owned agricultural consultancy based in Southern Queensland. Led by Jeremy Dawson, we’ve spent more than 25 years walking paddocks, digging soil, and helping local farmers make smarter decisions for their land and businesses.
We provide practical, data-backed agronomy services, mobile soil testing, farm management support, and equipment hire, working alongside broadacre and mixed-enterprise producers across Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
Our approach is grounded in real-world experience, long-term client relationships, and a genuine commitment to the success of regional agriculture.

Keeley Monaghan
Agronomist, Dawson Agriculture
Keeley is an agronomist with Dawson Agriculture, based in Toowoomba and servicing growers across the Darling Downs. With strong on-farm roots and a practical, collaborative approach, she works closely with clients to deliver independent agronomic advice grounded in real-world farming conditions.
Originally from Theodore in Central Queensland, Keeley grew up on a mixed cropping and cattle operation, where her interest in cropping systems first developed. A school-based extracurricular program working alongside an agronomist to manage a small cotton plot further shaped her interest in agronomy and its role in improving on-farm decision making.
Keeley holds a Bachelor of Agriculture, majoring in Agronomy, from the University of New England. She has also completed Nutrient Advantage soil testing and analysis training, along with a mungbean agronomy course in 2025, building a strong foundation in soil and crop nutrition.
Her experience includes:
1.5 years of broadacre agronomy experience across the Darling Downs
Over 10 years working within her family’s farming operation across Central Queensland and Northern New South Wales
Keeley has worked with crops including wheat, barley, chickpeas, mungbeans, sorghum, and soybeans, with exposure to mixed farming systems as well as cotton and sugarcane production. She has a particular interest in soil testing and nutrition, along with weed, pest, and disease management, valuing the ability to see outcomes in-paddock and refine management strategies over time.
Known for her practical mindset and collaborative working style, Keeley is passionate about tailoring regionally relevant agronomic advice to each client’s goals. She believes strong results come from understanding both the data and the realities of day-to-day farming.
Outside of work, Keeley enjoys helping her parents on their sugarcane farm on weekends, staying closely connected to the operational side of agriculture.
We believe good advice starts with accurate data — which is why we’ve invested in our own mobile soil testing unit, the Soil Doctor, to give our clients fast, local results when they need them most.
Every farm is different. We don’t do one-size-fits-all agronomy. We work closely with each client to develop custom strategies that suit their crops, climate, equipment, and business goals.
No fluff. No buzzwords. Just honest, proven recommendations backed by years in the paddock.
