00:00Today we're visiting the highly profitable mixed farming property that is Mary Springs Farms, just 118km north of the Geraldton Port.
00:09It's the end of July and we're looking at well-established crops in large, easy-working paddocks at the northern end of the property.
00:17Look at the yield potential there.
00:19The 6,800 hectares of arable land offers efficient production with consistent returns across the expansive areas of productive red sandy loams and high-quality yellow sandplain soils.
00:33Modern agronomy, nutrition strategies and rotational cropping are key to this highly profitable operation.
00:40Livestock is still an integral part of the operation, with a merino ewe flock of up to 1,400 head being run for a number of years.
00:48High-quality infrastructure is a defining feature of the property with three separate hubs of machinery, grain storage or fertiliser storage servicing cropping requirements.
01:01An immaculate modern homestead with a refreshing undercover below-ground pool overlooks the southern portion of the farm whilst three additional residences are located across the property and are used to support worker accommodation.
01:16Water is plentiful and huge water storage is supported by 10 bores with a combination of windmills and solar pumps supplying a network of 39 tanks and 45 troughs across the property.
01:30The professional management, long-term production statistics and an enviable return on capital suggest that at under $1,000 per arable acre, Mary Springs Farms is arguably one of the cheapest, best-performing broad-acre properties currently for sale in Australia.
