Prefabs and crops

I looked into prefab houses when I first arrived. Back then there was a company in Paysandu which did them nationwide and another near MVD who did a slightly posher version. I'll have a hunt to see whether I still have their details.

I've planted 1000 eucalyptus dunii on 0.8 hectares (about 2 acres) which are a dual purpose variety... good for wood pulp and for firewood.

With the current high commodity prices I've been growing winter wheat during the winter and soya during the summer. With 2 crops per annum I've had to pull a finger out after each harvest but I can now do the necessary clear up and replanting inside 36 hours.

The price of wheat has dropped because of the bumper Russian wheat harvest so this winter I haven't planted wheat and am busy improving the drainage on my somewhat heavy land. I'll be considering more soya in the spring but if the prices aren't too good, I'll grow alfalfa under contract for a couple of years instead.
