Pasture improvement

Hope some one can give me some advice. My wife & I have just purchased 7.5 acres in Millthorpe NSW. Its my chance to get away from the rat race ( Sydney ) and start to plant out the property for future established trees & possibly put in some vines while everyone else in Australia seems to be ripping them out. Eventually we will build & have this as our Rural getaway. We love the region & its surroundings.

When it comes to grass – whether it’s in the paddock or around the house – there always seems to be too little or too much. With so many jobs to do around the farm, lawn mowing is often left until last.

A ride-on mower is one piece of farm machinery that can make the job of lawn mowing a faster, easier and safer task.

Leasing or agisting livestock

Hi Guys,

I found this site on the weekend - plenty of answers already for a newcomer to farming.

I am in the process of finalising the sale on 180 acres in the Tweed shire. It has 40 cattle on it at the moment that will go after settlement. I will spend the next few years travelling back and forth so am interested in getting some cattle on the property to keep the grass down.

I would like to lease the land for grazing and would appreciate any advice on how this works, namely:

- are these agreements formal or are they 'handshake' deals;

Hi all,

Getting started

Hi everyone. my name is Ashleigh. For a while now my fiance and I have been talking about our dream to run a property as our main source of incom. We have always wanted to live the farming lifestyle, although buying our dream property is a few years off yet. I thought I would start researching it now.

Disabled farm stay

We have an adult son with cerebral palsy and would like to find a suitable farm stay experience close to Sydney.

We use to go to a goat farm in the Upper Hunter region but the owners retired and sold the farm. It was a terrific time and we became very friendly with the owners to the point where I would go up and help with the farm work. I really miss it.

Is there anyone out there who knows a disable farm stay with warm friendly people.

Thanks

Dave
