CARBON players and local farmers are expected to vie for almost 7000 hectares of grazing and farming country listed for sale by Geraldton-based Australian Farm Investment Management.

AFIM is a majority-owned subsidiary of Planfarm and manages farmland (wheat, barley, canola and sheep production) in WA’s wheatbelt region that is leased to proven farmers.

LAWD agent William Morris said the four properties – Terara, Carramar East, Tenindewa and The Brook — have been listed for sale via offers to purchase.

About 2313 arable hectares are currently operated as a dryland cropping enterprise, with the undulating red sandy loam and deep yellow sands growing wheat, barley, canola and lupins.

Complementary livestock, predominantly sheep, are run on the balance of country.

Terara is situated in a 340mm average annual rainfall region and securely watered by five equipped bores supplying multiple holding tanks for spray and livestock purposes.

Improvements include a homestead, multiple sheds, a four-stand shearing shed, steel sheep yards and numerous grain silos.
