Hi, We live on 73 acres in Bucca, just a half hour NW of Bundaberg.  What would be the best use of the land so as to make some income so that we can apply for a farming concession for our Council rates.  After 9 years here we have 6 head of cattle (heifers) a row of Mango trees, two horses, and quite a number of native trees the timber from which has been sold in the past (before we owned the place).  This area was renowned for timber once - it produces tall straight trees.

Hi there,

I'm interested in learning to farm, predominately sheep and alpacas in the Camden, NSW area.

I'm in the process of reading to get a better understanding of the requirements.

The intention is to make a living from farming and support my family.

I currently live on 1 acre and want to experiment with purchasing a couple of quality ewe's and ram (Suffolk) and then move slowly to Alpacas.

Hi,

I'm new to hay harvesting and have cut and raked a paddock but it rained overnight before baling. There is possibly some rain forcast for tomorrow but none after that. Should I leave it and rake again once its dried, should I bale or is it a lost cause?

Any advice would be much appreciated. 

Hi there,

I'd like to purchase a couple of NZ White Bucks and 4 Californian Doe's.

I am at my wits end trying to find a Breeder that sells either breed.

I'm in Victoria, so hopefully somebody can assist?

I have just purchased a property in Marulan NSW and was wondering if anyone can help suggest the best wind break trees that are native and suit the climate of Marulan (growing to at least three metres and higher).

Thank you for your help
