Agents Comments
"Glennelle" has prospered for three generations for this family farming operation, currently known for producing high-grade Katambora Rhodes Grass seed, harvested and sold in conjunction with hay production. The current owners have incorporated cattle backgrounding between crops and pastured areas, sometimes running more than 40* head whilst producing hay. Some of the farming country easily sown back to improved pasture if desired to focus on a backgrounding herd to trade local markets. With super low operations costs due to solar improvements, multiple avenues of water security, quality soil type and demands for the continued seed/fodder production and livestock, this is a must-see property in the South Burnett Region.
