Our farms are involved in a diverse number of communities and districts. Our people live, work and contribute in these communities. Our plant and equipment is supplied locally as are the majority of our inputs.

Our farms utilise the services of local contractors and part time staff. Many of our customers are in our local areas. We take the view that our long term relationships with local partners are important for us to achieve our objective.

On an industry level we contribute to district and national research efforts. Our people are members of local cropping groups, CFA’s, sporting bodies and clubs. Trials are conducted on our properties and results used for research that benefit the entire industry.
