Consolidating our arable lands


Many years ago Pine trees were planted throughout the Eastern Free State area. These trees are not indigenous and appear to have been planted in fairly random locations although undoubtedly there was a purpose at the time. They have now reached enormous proportions and are difficult to remove but we have a project designed to liberate areas of land that are dotted with Pine trees.

The good news is that much of this wood is going to be a manufacturing facility nearby that uses the wood for various purposes.

Due to the size of our equipment there are great efficiencies to be had in consolidating lands and making the individual arable lands as big as possible. Although it is a slow, time consuming business we believe the benefits to the farm are considerable.

We have identified more than 70ha of land that can be brought back into production this way.

The end result
