Myola is located approximately 20km south west of the township of Dalby, along the Moonie Highway. Myola is conveniently located close to grain receival and storage facilities at Dalby.
The total area of the aggregation is 1,641 hectares of which 97% is arable. The addition of 688 hectares of leased land, brings the total area under Myola’s management to 2,309 hectares.
The average rainfall at Myola is 677mm. Two thirds of this amount falls during the summer months from October to March while only one third (225mm) falls through the winter growing season.
In addition to the summer dominant rainfall, summer temperatures at Myola are far more moderate than those exposed further west. The land at Myola was originally covered in large Brigalow and Belah trees which were cleared 40-50 years ago. Soils under Brigalow were originally very high in nitrogen because the Brigalow tree is a legume capable of fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere.
For many years, nitrogen fertiliser was not needed, but is now commonly used to
increase yields and boost protein levels. This assists wheat to qualify for Prime Hard quality.
The property uses a full 3 metre, controlled traffic, no til system utilising GPS technology to maximise productivity and to minimise environmental impact.
The average percentage mix of crop types since commencement of operations have been as follows: Cotton 25%, Sorghum 41% and Wheat 34%.

Wyobie is located 40km north of the township of Dalby and 130km west of Toowoomba. It is adjacent to the Cooranga Creek which flows east to west through the northern section of the property. The total area of Wyobie is 2,782 hectares.
The nearest grain receival depot is Macalister which is 15km south of the property. The largest service centre is Dalby with a population of 12,000. Jandowae, with its much smaller population is located 17km north of Wyobie.
The average rainfall at Wyobie is 660mm. Two thirds of this amount falls during the summer (October to March) while one third (220mm) falls through the winter growing season. In addition to the summer dominant rainfall, summer temperatures at Wyobie are moderate, and as a result summer crops and especially sorghum dominate.
The lower daily evaporation rate (approximately 8-9mm daily) allows summer crops to convert water into grain more efficiently.
The average percentage mix of crop types since commencement of operations have been as follows: Wheat 14%, Sorghum 34%, Cotton 26% and Fallow 26%.
