Most of the infrastructure is located on the Dairy Block including the dairy, house, hay sheds, work shop, irrigation pump shed and dams.
It is a highly productive farm with predominantly Shepp Fine Sandy Loam soil types and lasered to suit any application (pasture, cropping, lucerne). It has consistently produced around 600 rolls pasture silage in spring, 5-6 cuts of lucerne silage/hay, silage/hay from the dryland area and approximately 137,000kg MS annually. Milk production of approximately 1.7mL annually.
Well established and mature tree lines provide shelter and shade for stock as well as aesthetic appeal.

Lime has been applied every 3-4 years.
Have used a combination of granular nitrogen (Urea, SOA, Grassboosta) and liquid nitrogen (Easy N) during the year. Compost/manure spread annually additional to fertilizer. Olsen P's typically in 40's
