Disregard all previous price expectations – Vendor says sell!
I should point out that again this year this farm business has been extremely profitable. They always take around $25,000 in cattle sales plus there is the Shaw Creeping Vigna sales. This year the crops were down but still harvested sufficient to bring in $42,568 including GST. On October 11th the Queensland Country Life did an almost full page feature article on the properties legume Shaw Creeping Vigna with an incredible response. It has established the business Pitcairn Pastures as the main seed producer and is going to be the catalyst for significant sales for next season. (A copy of the article is available at our office)
