A wonderful opportunity has presented itself to secure a portion of the tightly held Byee Valley farming district. Located less than 10mins west of Murgon, or around 45mins to Kingaroy, with a sealed road access.
Commanding 100% of the typical deep chocolate black soil prominent to the region, the property has been mostly laser levelled and designed around a row cropping strategy for maximum crop density and water usage. Offering extensive water frontage to the Barambah Creek, the property is upstream from the Silverleaf Weir backing up water for kilometres.
The property is designed around efficiencies, utilising the 15 hydrants for flood irrigation all flowing down to tailings drains and a collection dam, to be repumped and circulated throughout the system again.
Currently the property is planted to cotton, due to be picked in April. Furthermore, this is a very tidy property suitable for a range of cropping enterprises, namely grains, pulses, silage, lucerne hay or vegetables. It has the soil, water, and infrastructure to accommodate all of these interests.
