Country         
Primary and secondary alluvial river flats fronting the Boyne River, renowned for its Lucerne growing ability 
without fertilizer, and its unlimited water supply from the un proclaimed shallow alluvial gravel bed beneath            
the deep loamy soils. All crops are now grown biodynamically, assisted by Tony DeVere Agricultural
Consultancy and approximately 60% of the property is fully certified Organic, growing grazing crops of clover,
kikuyu, lucerne, green panic, Rhodes grass, & pangola and hay making crops of Lucerne, oates, or millet.
Only a very small area of “Hyblah” goes under flood and the total farmed area could be used for grazing,
haymaking, or Silage production. Tony DeVere Consulting has consulted to this farm for the last 23 years

Comments     
“Hyblah” is an historic property in the tightly held Boyne Valley, selected in 1899 as a grazing holding then later turned into  one the premier dairies in the district supplying large volumes of milk to the Port Curtis Co Operative Dairy Assn’s Factories. The dairy was closed in 2003 due to the deregulation of the Industry and since that time the property has been operating as an Organic lucerne and fodder growing enterprise but would be ideally suited as a fodder factory, Stud bull depot, backgrounding operation or fattening property. The owners wish to offer this great property for sale and retire .
