In particular, the combination of the rich basalt soils in the surrounding Sassafras-Wesley Vale region, highly reliable rainfall and water security, and excellent supporting infrastructure have made it one of the state’s most highly productive farming areas.

The region is predominately utilised to support irrigated/dryland cropping and grazing enterprises. In recent years there has been an increase in the conversion to irrigation enterprises as water becomes more available via the Sassafras-Wesley Vale Irrigation Scheme and the demand for commodities such as poppies, grains and vegetables increases.
