Irrigation, Scale, Potential

Flat contour with highly fertile Kairanga silt loam and clay loam soils, irrigation from three centre pivot irrigators, and a significant investment and development programme provide the platform for strong future production targets.
The farm has an effective area of approximately 296 hectares of which approximately 200 hectares is irrigated, with a further 65 hectares used for effluent disposal.
In 2010 a new 60 bail rotary shed, effluent pond and system, water treatment system and irrigation upgrades were undertaken.
Further supported by three houses and other substantial farm infrastructure, an annual cropping/re-grassing programme and excellent race layout for ease of management.
Production last season of 250,000kgMS was achieved milking 850 cows. Current production is running 27% ahead of last year.
Contour, irrigation and the scale of this property provide the platform to substantially lift production and see rewards from an investment in dairy. Well located for schools and recreation, a strong local community - the opportunity is here.
