Property currently operated and well proven as dairy run-off and fodder bank.
A superb balance of versatile soils, from quality sandy loams to heavier fertile clay loams on lower areas, offers well to a large range of agricultural enterprises.
High yielding fodder crops, sunflowers, beans, potatoes and other vegetables.
Beef production, dairy run-off, intensive beef production and dairy conversion utilising Composting Bed livestock housing. STCA.
Improvements include steel cattle yards incorporating crush and electronic livestock weighing system. Large steel hayshed 100x 60.
The property comprises mainly deeper, well-structured fertile soils including approx 300 acres of sandstone based banks. These bank areas are considered a strong benefit in complementing the deeper clay based soil areas by providing an excellent balance of freer draining soils for winter grazing.
Another significant benefit comes with the conversion of hectare based irrigation licenses to volumetric licenses. The larger than average megalitre per hectare conversion rate applied to this property provides the ability to irrigate a significant larger area than the current 120 hectares, as the requirement may only be 5 megalitres per hectare during years of normal rainfall spread.
Benefits attained from the mix of soil types and the generous irrigation conversion rate should contribute to higher livestock stocking and turn-off numbers, a longer natural growing season requiring a shorter irrigation season and reduced costs of production.
A very productive property with great potential, well worth inspection.
Expected price range $4200 PA plus.
