Farming News - Arable expansion
April 2008

Making a contribution to Global crop production.

At this time of the year we clean the edges of our lands (Soya beans on the left).  The area on the right was previously reserved for grazing.  The fences have been taken down and the land will be converted to arable.  The mountains straight ahead are in Lesotho and due to our proximity to the
border it is not viable to keep cattle in this area, therefore we are going for maximum arable expansion.
