Quandialla Clays Provide Cracking Opportunity

With average wheat yields of around three tonnes to the hectare, ‘Ostenleigh Aggregation’ represents good value for money when compared to land further to the east. Soils on all four properties are predominately soft grey clays with some mulching country. There are also some lighter red loam soils on the northern end of ‘Gilgowrie’.

Over the years, lucerne and clover have been planted in the non-cropping paddocks. Cropping rotations have generally consisted of canola, wheat and barley. In 2022 just over half the property has been planted to canola, and the remainder of the property is pasture.
