Leasing land for agriculture

Leasing land can be a great way to get into agriculture or expand your existing business without the high capital cost of purchasing land. For the landowner, it can also provide a steady income from land they are not currently farming.

Before you enter into any agreement you should consider the length of the lease, the cost, each parties' responsibilities, restrictions on the property and what should happen in the case of a default or dispute.

Buying a rural property?

Hi,

my partner and I would like to buy a rural property initially for lifestyle/family/hunting purposes while we are still young and earning money in the city, with a view later to live on a farm later when we have kids.

we aren't completely in the dark, he comes from a farming family, and I've grown up spending a lot of time hunting on rural properties. We're both very hands on mechanical trades/engineering so we don't mind getting our hands dirty.

Telephone controlled power point

Hi,

Has anyone used these power outlets that turn on and off via phone call. They sound perfect for my pump.

Hello to the Good Life

Just want to say a quick hello to all out there.

Love this site and all the like minded people supporting each other.

We are new to farming, having eventually bought our little piece of heaven (40 acres) and cant wait to get it all up and running. Its a bush block, so we are beginning with a blank slate. The hope is to have a small viable enterprise running redline cattle. Plus of course the mandatory chickens and dogs, plus maybe even a few pigs for the pot.

Fire plans for livestock

A key factor in minimising risk to stock during a bush fire is to identify safer areas on the farm where livestock can be moved.

The area you choose will depend on the type of livestock you are farming and their expected behaviour during a fire.

Foam-filled ATV tyres for free trial

Hi all,

 

I have a pair of 25x10-12 Deestone Ditch Witch tyres, mounted on steel rims and filled with lightweight foam.

I require a long-term test to be carried out, and am looking for a farmer located within 100km of Perth who would be willing to try them out. They would be available for use free of charge. The ATV would be required to be in daily use for at least a few hours each working day in the interests of obtaining the necessary data as quickly as possible.

Thanks

Daniel Honiball

Beef cattle snowy mountains

Hi all,

Please excuse my ignorance but I was wondering on the farming of beef in the snowy mountain region:

- do they require bought feed or can they rely on the land?

- is this better breve dine or fattening country?

- what is the rainfall like and is it reliable?

100 questions I know but thanks in advance ;)

Farming

Hello

I have recently joined.

I am keen to understand how to get into organic farming. I have no experience in farming. I have been in the software business for 10+ yrs and my wife is the health care sector
We are currently moving out from Melbourne to Devonport.

Appreciate if any help can be given on how and where to start with farming? Investments and effort required?
