12 acres and contracted water lisence. What to do?

Hi all, im very seriously looking at a 16 acre property with a house and 12 acres of cab sav vines that are irrigated by recyled water. The problem is i know nothing about vines and the water is locked into a contract at a cost of $6000 per year. To have the vines managed will cost to much ( quoted 30 grand! ) so i would likely tear them out with my fathers earth moving equipment. My question is what do i run or grow on the property to cover the cost of the water and possibly make a profit? The land is an hour south of adelaide and reasonably sloping in nature.

Running Sheep - Chittering Area W.A

Hi all,

 

Novice farmer here. Have around 30 Acres of land available to run sheep (dorper preferably). There a small/medium dam already onsite, with a few tanks holding water around the place.

 

The plan is to buy 6-10 sheep, and graze them between the 2 paddocks initially, then move into a 3rd paddock and 4th eventually. Buying a lot more livestock eventually as I get used to the work involved.

Buying cattle on a hobby farm

Hi all, I just bought my first little slice of Australia. It's only a little hobby farm and it has a fair bit of work to get it up and running but we will get there. I'm looking at buying myself a few heifers to keep the grass down for the time being. My question is if I am only buying for personal use and not to sell what do I need to do to buy legally in qld? I know this question has probably come up a lot so thank you all for your time

Small producer case study: Creating an organic agritourism experience (Part 1)

When Jamie and Lara McCall followed their dream and moved to the ‘country’, they started a journey that would lead to running a thriving organic farm and farmstay business.

They've diversified their farming enterprise to include bungalows and organic products (e.g. fruit, vegetables, honey, olive oil, wine) that are sold through local farmers' markets and to visitors.

New bale spikes - how tight is enough?

Hullo. New member and new farmer. My ancestors farmed cattle for generations but sold the last farm in 1896 so I inherited a bit of a knowledge gap.

Market for Lowline /miniature cattle?

Hi there, I am tentatively looking at stocking Lowline cattle (or something similar) on our 30 acres at Bell, near the Bunya Mountains. Coming from a beef producing family, I have had a few giggles from family members as to their profitability! Have purchased 'Small cattle for small farms' and waiting for it to be delivered.

Injector pump on Daedong (Kioti) DK 35

Hi there, I'm just wondering if anyone has had problems with the governor or injector pump on a Daedong (Kioti) DK 35 and if so was there a reasonably simple cure. The machine is not reving to its full revs when the throttle is fully open and when it idles it idles about 100 to 200 revs lower than what it should.
