Kalua features self mulching clay soils, well suited to both summer and winter crops.
During the past 25 years, Alistair and Penny Jones' management has seen a methodical build up of soil fertility combined with a comprehensive crop rotation and weed management program.
The strategic weed plan that has been in place for the past 10 years has effectively managed difficult to control weeds, particularly barnyard grass and feather top Rhodes grass.
