COMMENTS. The owners of New Farm have been at the fore front of Soil Enhancement Technology & over the past 12 years have developed a proven process which has transformed previously inferior pastures to highly productive & sustainable improved pastures you see over approx 60% of the property. This technology involved deep ripping selected areas & injecting them with Sodic Soil Amendment Agent. This patented Technology stops the clay acting as a wick & drawing salt up into the root Zone. Rotational grazing practices have been in place for around 10 years which has allowed improved pastures to seed and self sow which can be appreciated in areas on the property. Paddocks slashed to promote new growth after grazing.
