Irrigation: The total area of this block comes within the Waiau Plains irrigation scheme and could practially all be irrigated by Border dykes or spray irrigation. Auctioneer’s Note: The offering of this part of Mr M. A. Black’s “Braemar” property presents Farm buyers an unusual opportunity to obtain an exceptionally good block which is well farmed, easily worked, well subdivided. sheltered and watered. With its climate and friable free draining silt loam soil this land winters stock particularly well. The condition of the sheep at present and ~ the returns being obtained from crops clearly show what a versatile property this is. With further irrigation greatly increased returns would be assured irrespective of the season. In fact if this area was fully irrigated it could quite conceivably make two very economic Dairy Farms. REMEMBER: Good quality Land is always a verv WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT and this is some of the best land available in the Culverden District. It is seldom that such an excellent block of Bare Land becomes available and this offering affords Buyers the chance of purchasing high quality soil without paying the high cost of Buildings, etc. VENDORS SOLICITORS: Messrs Duncan, Cotterill and Co.
