Ballard Cleaning Co is an outstanding rural success story. From small beginnings local farmers Neil and Valerie Ballard have established and expanded their involvement in the pasture seed industry.

They obtained a license to grow and market Santorini Yellow Serradella from CLIMA in 1995. This led to the setting up of a pasture seed cleaning operation on their property in 1997, subsequently they became involved in retailing, wholesaling and exporting certified seed. Since 1997, Ballard Cleaning Company has become a significant player in the pasture seed industry in Western Australia.

Ballard Cleaning Co clean a wide range of pasture seeds, grasses and several other small seeds including industrial hemp. All the clovers, medics, serradellas, vetches, hempseeds, biserrula, sorghum, millet sunflowers, linseed, kikuyu, ryegrass, canola and many others are all within the range of seed varieties that can be cleaned.

The business has a comprehensive range of plant and equipment of different sizes and types to facilitate this processing.

The business is being sold along with a 12.95-hectare* freehold rural property located at 1044 Brown Road Tincurrin Western Australia. The property is being sold with substantial infrastructure including,

• Older style house (circa 1960)
• Seed cleaning shed
• Several storage sheds
• Portable office complex

Whoever buys this business will be very fortunate to be have a business that enjoys an excellent reputation established by Neil and Valerie Ballard.

Neil is recognised both locally and internationally for his pioneering expertise in pasture farming systems. Neil has been involved with several international agricultural projects in Europe, Africa, China and Christmas Island.

In February 2017 Murdoch University (WA) conferred an Honorary Doctorate on Neil for contributions to "the science of legume domestication and adoption to farming systems, as well as his work with international agencies"

The opportunity that this business has provided the current owners has been truly rewarding. There is a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to capitalise on the reputation the current owners have established in the Western Australian agricultural community.
