Hi all, I could use some advice

Hello everyone.
we're new on this forum and glad to be here. First, I would like to introduce us a little bit, it also helps you to understand the plans in our mind. We're a couple, I was born and raised in Switzerland, Jacky in Australia, curently living in Canada. Both have background in farming. So, we want to move to Oz and our plan is, to start a small dairy after we sell our business here and after I'm legally aloud to work, as I'm not Aussie nor having PR.

Leasing farm and abn

Hello all, I have purchased a small holding of 100 acres and will be building on it over the next 12 months. In between time, I have someone who wants to lease the rest of the land which will be for about $4000 annually.

Opinions and ideas of what to use my farm for

Hi folks, I'm seeking opinions and ideas for possible uses for my farm. When I bought it it was wall to wall grapes. I've removed half of them already and the other half are coming out straight after harvest in February. I can't wait to see them go! This will leave me with 24 acres of cleared farmland. I have a high security water allocation although it a bit expensive but it's a bearable cost. I have 8ML of water storage via two dams, one of which fills naturally after good rain.

Weed control questions

Hi all, hope everyone is well! I have 2 major weed problems currently on my property. A yellow flowering thistle and St Johns Wort. The wort covered and entire side of a hill however the thistle mostly along my seasonal creek. I gave the thistle a good whack with a spray while the creek was dry and then mulched up under my mower blades. I think our problem was we didn't get to it soon enough as our property changed hands when we should have been beginning to spray. We took over our property in Late October.

Fertigation simply is the injection of fertilisers, soil amendments, and/or water-soluble products into an irrigation system. An irrigation system can be a sprinkler on a stand, a hose, a drip system or a centre pivot.

Leasing farmland within cooee of Newcastle

Hi,

I am wondering about leasing land for farming in the Hunter Valley NSW, I have not found much available on commercial real estate websites. Could anyone suggest what might be a good way to find landholders that might wish to lease land?

Hello, hoping to make a living from farming before too long.

Hello,

I am have been a climbing Arborist (tree man) for over fifteen years now and am trying to make a transition into farming. I have been doing my own research for some years now and was glad to find this great website, good stuff. I currently live in Newcastle NSW and hope to lease some land for farming soon, with the intention of buying a small farm when I can, (would involve selling my house in Newcastle).

Just deciding what to do with my heavily forested 23 acres sitting at 600 metres in Tassie.  The land has a fair gradient too. Thought about native fruits and berries and unusual herbs (with a good market).
