Autumn 2018 Property Pull-Out March 19, 2018

Expansion coming from within Alan Williams a.dubu@xtra.co.nz

YNDICATE investor MyFarm has just bought another big SunGold kiwifruit orchard near Te Puke, paying just over $1 million a canopy hectare for the 14-hectares, but well-established individual growers appear to dominate the sector still. There’s more demand for really good quality orchards, producing both Hayward Green and the new SunGold fruit, than there is supply of available properties, PGG Wrightson Real Estate agent Stan Robb said. Good quality means having consents in place for sufficient water supply and not all blocks have that. “Every owner might think their orchard is worth $1m but that’s not the case. “The good ones don’t come up that often.” Te Puke-based Robb brokered the sale of the 14.29ha Paengaroa orchard to MyFarm Investments and just a couple of weeks ago booked a sale of a 5.5ha SunGold orchard and house for $6.7m. At $1.1m/ha that set a new benchmark. The buyer was an established grower expanding his operations. “A lot of the activity is the bigger boys expanding and a lot of that is growers buying the neighbouring property. “There’s a lot of consolidation of smaller blocks.” A 14ha block is a big sale. Most are much smaller. Expanding established growers are also the among the sellers, selling a block to finance buying SunGold licences from Zespri for other blocks they own. The licences are in the $250,000/ha to $300,000/ha range to buy. The wider Te Puke area is the major base for kiwifruit and Robb said the market there has been stable for many years, with

Seeka is always looking to expand its local kiwifruit operation though it has been working on avocado developments in Northland and kiwifruit in Australia, chief executive Michael Franks says.

A lot of the activity is the bigger boys expanding and a lot of that is growers buying the neighbouring property. Stan Robb PGG Wrightson about 40 to 50 properties typically changing hands. Growers believe they have management of potential Psa infection under good control. MyFarm now has two large kiwifruit blocks in the area and a couple of small ones, head of investment services Brian Cloughley said. About this time last year it paid $700,000/canopy hectare for the Gold acreage of a combined Green/Gold orchard slightly

larger than the latest purchase. Both were in the early stages of production at purchase-time. Some investors are in both syndicates. This time of year is favourable timing because the buyer gets the season’s fruit as part of the deal and most of the growing costs have been incurred, Cloughley said. MyFarm is keen to do more but it is difficult for a syndicate investor to get access to properties on an unrestricted basis, he said. Most top-end orchards are sold by tender and time-scales can be short. Last year it put a syndicate together in a week and did well to get a tender in at a $1.02m/ha offer price. “The winner was at $1.06m and we were fourth so that was a lot of time and expense for us.” With SunGold growers clearing an orchard gate return (OGR) of between $60,000/ha and $90,000/ ha after costs, they are making

huge money and are in very strong positions to expand. Prices are based on 8.5% net return to an owner-operator. The Paengaroa orchard will be leased to experienced and largescale operator DMS, which will pay a monthly base rental plus a share of profits. That means investors receive monthly rental income plus an annual dividend after harvest, Cloughley said. Investors are wary of something similar to Psa occurring and it is potentially a long way down given the current values. “We are all going in with our eyes open and, at present, yields justify those values.” Robb said demand for the green Hayward crop orchards is just as strong. These are typically $400,000/ ha to $500,000/ha and the OGR is similar to the sums on SunGold. A $500,000/ha property would need to be in a very good situation, would mostly be bought

by a neighbour and probably there wouldn’t be a house included. Established growers are very strongly placed as buyers and banks are keen to lend. Robb, who sold $100m-worth of kiwifruit properties in the 2016-17 season and $62m worth so far this season, believes the price outlook is very good for at least the next five years. Large-scale Bay of Plenty orchardist and post-harvest group Seeka is always looking to increase its leased orchard space but is going through a quiet phase as it focuses on its avocado developments in Northland and kiwifruit expansion in Australia, chief executive Michael Franks said. With the prices being paid for orchards, investors should make sure they are mindful of the risks. At a post-harvest level, changes in orchard ownership do not make a big difference, he said. “On those properties, you’ve still got the same crop to get off.”

Limestone Valley done up UP TO 1400 cattle are run on Limestone Valley near Timaru after major enhancements in the past four years on fertility, water systems, subdivision and production. The 589ha property has been developed as large-scale dairy support unit based around feeding dairy heifers and young stock as well as wintering cows. When feed allows trading cattle have been added into the mix as well. Richard Scott from PGG Wrightson Real Estate says the

property has been well set up for wintering a large number of cattle. Thirteen tanks store 425,000 litres of water to reticulate to mostly 1500-litre troughs around paddocks that now have quality pasture on soils with good fertility. “Since it’s been in the vendor’s care it’s had a great fertiliser history and everything is humming. “They’ve done a huge amount of regrassing, especially over the last two years and it currently has 46ha of kale, 16ha of fodder beet,

63ha of young grass and 10ha of lucerne. “It’s set up for the dairy industry but it’s also well suited for traditional sheep and beef farming,” Scott said. Limestone Valley lies 28km from Timaru, spreading over a range of contour that includes 60% tractor country for cropping and 40% steeper ground. The latter is subdivided into 11 hill blocks in mixed-age pasture while the easier country is subdivided into 57 main paddocks.

Two main tracks connect with a good internal track network as well as motorbike tracks over the entire property, enabling good access between paddocks and the array of farm buildings and facilities. The main hub for the farm includes facilities for calf rearing, implements, hay, a workshop, a woolshed and a silo. At the other end of the farm sits another woolshed, hayshed and utility shed. The homestead features three bedrooms and two large lounges

while a tidy, four-bedroom cottage provides further accommodation. Scott says the property, which has a 2017 rateable valuation of $4.76 million, offers scale, scope and potential for a diverse range of farming options. The deadline sale closes on March 28 and possession date is August 1 or by negotiation.

FARMERS WEEKLY – March 19, 2018

The Fleckvieh herd is a hardy breed developed for both dairy and beef production.

Self-sufficient going concern A SELF-CONTAINED 226ha Dargaville dairy farm has potential to increase production and as a deceased estate it is available as a going concern for a new owner to stamp their mark. The farm sits in an increasingly popular location just 8km west of the town where it has been milking between 180 and 240 cows during the past six years on the 150ha milking platform that includes 120ha of fertile flats. For that period it has averaged 52,614kg milksolids (MS) and reached a best production of 70,733kg MS. A herd of Fleckvieh cows has been the focus of the farm operation rather than chasing milk production. The hardy breed is a high-yielding, dualpurpose cow developed

for both dairy and beef production. Studies have shown it has a more efficient feed conversion rate compared with other dairy cattle and is more disease resistant. The herd is also available for sale at valuation, enabling a buyer to carry on the farm operation. As a deceased estate, the remaining trustees of the vendor’s trust want to give buyers the option to buy as a complete going concern or land and buildings. To date the farm has operated as self-sufficient unit, growing maize, silage, balage, hay and sorghum as a summer crop with the help of K-Line irrigation on the northern end of the flats. On that side of the farm 99 paddocks are accessed from a good race system while 22 paddocks on the

eastern side of the farm are used for beef cattle and dairy support. At the centre of the farm is the 22-aside herringbone dairy which is accessed via a 70m long concrete feedpad with troughs and a capacity for 200 cows. Effluent is captured in a three-pond system that gravitates to 20 pods and irrigates it onto 60ha of pasture on the flats. A renovated and well-presented threebedroom home provides accommodation along with a three-bedroom worker’s cottage. The farm will be auctioned on April 27.

The farm can be viewed at www.bayleys.co.nz/1020188 and for further information contact Catherine Stewart on 027 356 5031.

"CHESTER" - AN OUTSTANDING 637 HA FINISHING, CROPPING AND BREEDING PROPERTY 388 Rangatira Road & 3446 State Highway 1, Hunterville, Rangitikei Rising up from the edge of Hunterville on State Highway 1, Chester is one of the regions premier properties due to its virtual perfect balance of moderate breeding hills, encircling one of the largest contiguous areas of flat to easy Kiwitea silt loam soils in the region. These prodigious, versatile soils are friable and free draining and have few peers for livestock finishing and are equally well suited to the wide range of crops that have been grown here including lucerne, maize, cereals and potatoes. Young pastures through-out include the hills which have been heli-cropped and re-grassed in recent years, all exhibiting strong fertility test results.

FARMERS WEEKLY – March 19, 2018

The country at Raumati and Staghill Stations holds on well in drying winds.

Two stations or one? A LARGE-SCALE sheep and beef breeding and finishing station east of Waipukurau in Hawke’s Bay combines well-balanced contour with the proximity to a renowned fishing and diving beach. Raumati and Staghill stations form a combined 1516ha, 1464ha effective, property with the latter added to a farm operation that has been owned by the same family for more than 100 years. One of the two appealing homes on the station has commanding sea views to Shoal Bay, Aramoana, where the Te Angiangi Marine Reserve stretches for 1.3km to Blackhead Beach and benefits the surrounding reefs while sandy bays create summer swimming destinations. Last year the station carried 8910 sheep and 839 cattle ranging from R1s through to mixed-age cows. It equates to a ratio of about 65% sheep based on a Perendale-

The properties feature two woolsheds.

Romney flock with high-fertility Coopworth added recently and 35% cattle using Angus and Hereford genetics. Typically, between 2500 and 3000 trade lambs are bought in each year and Friesian bulls are also purchased at 400kg liveweight. Stock thrive on strong country that is aesthetically appealing because of the native coastal tree species and patches of kanuka. Raumati has easy to medium hill country with good shelter from the south for lambing and calving. Staghill complements Raumati with more of a southeasterly aspect and large portions of very easy contour. The country holds on well during periods of drying winds and the top ridge is well suited for wintering cattle. The addition of Staghill also provides a reliable spring water

source from limestone rock, which could be used to reticulate large areas of the stations. Tony Rasmussen from Bayleys says it’s rare to have stations of this scale where most areas are grazeable, with the combined balance of aspect, contour and plantings creating excellent shelter as well as a natural habitat for the occasional deer on the property. Raumati is subdivided into 56 paddocks and Staghill 25 paddocks with extensive lanes on each. Rasmussen says further subdivision of two paddocks would link the two lanes. Those lanes create ease of management and co-ordinate with satellite yards, the two woolsheds and the central combination of sheep and cattle yards on Raumati.

Most areas on the two stations are grazeable with excellent shelter.

LOW COSTS EQUAL HIGH PROFITS These two Ruawia Dairy farms are glowing examples of resilient, low cost, high profit agri-bussinesses that have continued to provide strong stable incomes for the owners and Sharemilkers, even through the most recent down turn. This provides a sound base for anyone looking to grow from a first farm buyer through to an investor. Both long term lower order Sharemilkers would consider staying on. Situated on the Ruawai Flats and adjacent to each other, both farms production figures are more in-line with what would be expected from the Waikato, at around half the capital investment.

HUZZA FARMS LTD

Standout physical features of the properties apart from flat terrain, natural high fertility and ample water, have to be that each farm has three Herd Homes. Demonstrating an enviable return on capital is only part of the modern farming equation. Environmental sensitivity and animal welfare are increasingly shaping the agricultural industry. The integrated use of the Herd Homes in this simple, low cost, high production system has helped address immediate compliance issues and has gone a long way towards future proofing these properties. The businesses can be purchased as a going concern as our retiring clients are scaling down. These farms stand out from the rest for all the right reasons and deserve your serious consideration.

Developed to a high level A 302ha North Otago property has been developed to a high standard for large numbers of cattle and will suit dairy farmers who want to control stock movement and protect the health of their herd. The farm, 30km from Oamaru at Five Forks, 30km from Oamaru, has been set up for dairy and beef grazing, following fodder crops with new pasture so 50% of the land has been regrassed in the past four years with highperforming ryegrass typical of dairy pastures. About three-quarters of the farm spreads over easy to moderately rolling contour, merging into medium hill and a small amount of steeper sidlings. Some 235ha is cultivatable and 120ha is under K-Line irrigation with another 40ha proposed for more irrigation. The property owns 120 North Otago Irrigation Company shares, which represents a water allocation entitlement of 40l/ second. Its stock water scheme has been completely upgraded with the installation of 1500-litre troughs in all 60 paddocks, which have a high standard of fencing and are linked with very good all-weather access to allow stock to be moved

with ease throughout the year. Extensive cattle yard facilities have been developed with a Te Pari crush and are part the range of infrastructure that incorporates a three-bay implement shed, tidy two-bay vehicle and storage shed, a well-maintained woolshed with sheep yards, a 30t grain silo and 10 30,000l water tanks. Richard O’Sullivan from Colliers International says the property is surrounded by mostly sheep farms with the Kakanui Gorge on one side to provide a protective environment for cattle when farmers are worried about the threat of Mycoplasma bovis. “It means they can secure their winter grazing for all their stock and have full control,” he says. “The property has been developed to a very high standard for easy management and the previous owner has put a lot of resources into fertilising the property so it’s got a large bank of fertility.” The property has a deadline sale of March 29.

Infrastructure includes extensive cattle facilities.

This farm has water company shares with K-Line irrigation, troughs in all paddocks and storage for 300,000 litres.

FARMERS WEEKLY – March 19, 2018

The farm is highly productive with good summer rain. All the waterways were fenced nearly a decade ago.

Big farm, heritage gardens, cafe TRELINNOE Station and its iconic gardens are testament to multiple generations of dedication from the Wills family of Hawke’s Bay who have created a resilient farming operation alongside an internationally-recognised garden covering 13ha. The station is a unique 1134ha property located in the highly regarded farming region northwest of Napier. At its heart is Trelinnoe Park, which is the legacy of the late John and Fiona Wills whose life-long passion for gardening resulted in one of the finest botanical collections in the country. It attracts thousands of visitors through its gate every year. Beyond the park stretches the station, run by former Federated

Farmers president Bruce Wills and his brother Scott, who have worked with the picturesque landscape to establish a property that has won multiple environmental awards and today is a highly-successful breeding and finishing sheep and beef operation. It hasn’t been an easy decision for the family to sell such an iconic property, which has been created from decades of sheer hard work. However, Bruce, who is spending more of his time off the farm these days with a range of governance roles, says the park needs someone with his parents’ passion and enthusiasm for the garden to take over its care and to explore other potential uses for this stunning property, which

Trelinnoe’s park covers 13ha with a garden of national significance.

could include an exclusive retreat, function centre, tourism or to simply enjoy. Trelinnoe Park has landscaped woodland paths, wide sweeps of lawns, clipped hedges, hillsides of flowering trees and spectacular vistas to the station’s dramatic landscape. The near frost-free environment and ample rainfall enables the park to grow tropical plants through to high-altitude species, which has resulted in an extensive botanical collection. The park is recognised by the New Zealand Garden Trust as a garden of national significance. “The family has a real loyalty to my mother’s and father’s legacy as they worked tirelessly for almost 60 years to create

this property,” Bruce says. “The garden is very much part of the farm and both the garden and farm deserve the opportunity with a new owner to take it to the next stage.” The cafe operated for more than 25 years and, with the garden, has had some 140,000 people through its doors, with people from all over the world enjoying its beauty. On the farm Bruce and Scott have focused on creating an environmentally sensitive farming operation with all the waterways fenced nearly a decade ago and 300ha of bush, including 161ha that is protected with covenants. A further 15,000 trees are planted across the 90 paddocks for both shelter and erosion control and the result is a highly

resilient farming business. The farm has strong fundamentals with its good summer rainfall and strong fertiliser history enabling it to be highly productive. “Trelinnoe is a large-scale, well-developed farming business in the greenbelt of Hawke’s Bay with a unique landscaped park at its centre, which includes a large homestead, a spacious 60-seat cafe and a world-class botanical collection.” Trelinnoe Station is for sale by tender, closing May 3.

FARMERS WEEKLY – March 19, 2018

Real Estate

This farm, in 10 titles, is near the Waikato Expressway.

farmersweekly.co.nz/realestate 0800 85 25 80

This 81ha dairy unit has a three-year average production of 61,535kg MS.

Dairy with development potential AFTER three generations with strong ties to the land a Waikato family is selling its 81ha dairy farm near Ohinewai with its 10 titles on flat contour providing development potential. Location is key to the property that sits near the Ohinewai interchange on the Waikato Expressway where it can take advantage of the expanding access corridor between Hamilton and Auckland. Vistas of the Waikato River and

easy access via a no-exit road add to its development appeal. With future development potential in mind, dairy farming has been the backbone of the farm milking 200 cows through a 16-aside herringbone dairy for a three-year production average of 61,535kg milksolids. That was achieved with 4ha of lucerne and 50 bales of grass silage grown on the farm plus 50t of palm kernel bought in. An underpass connects a block

of land near the Waikato River and another block the other side of the no-exit road, with a race system linking all the paddocks. Flat contour with sandy loam soils that are free-draining and fertile lends itself to a vast range of options and Scott Macdonald from Bayleys says horticultural cropping, equestrian or lifestyle development are likely possibilities for its future. “It’s got alternative uses with its 10 titles and location close

to the off ramp. Once the Waikato Expressway is completed the access between Hamilton and Auckland will be that much easier and this property will be well placed for it.” Among the four modest homes on the property is a character weatherboard home built in the early 1900s which has had areas renovated and opens to a sunny deck. Two of the homes are being rented by tenants.

A good array of implement sheds includes a 10-bay O’Neil half-round barn and quality three-bay garaging, with further infrastructure complementing the property. The property will be auctioned on April 12.

To view the property visit www. bayleys.co.nz/814015 and for further information contact Scott Macdonald on 027 753 3854.

Entrant and retiree options NOT often do you get the chance to buy clean sheep and beef breeding country at the affordable levels of Wairoa hill country. The vendors of this property are downsizing and Tony Rasmussen of Bayleys says that creates a number of opportunities. Firstly, for first-farm buyers who can buy 297ha of medium and steeper hills used as a breeding block with generally very good rainfall. And secondly, the 58ha house block, that could suit retiring farmers, is the picturesque finishing portion of the property and has a sheltered home with a sunny deck and swimming pool in well laid-out grounds. A great aspect for both blocks is their proximity to Wairoa just 22km away, which Rasmussen describes as a great, young community. While one of New Zealand’s best-kept secrets, Lake Waikaremoana, is only an hour’s drive. For the outdoor enthusiasts the area has plenty of hunting and fishing opportunities. The 297ha breeding block has a three-stand woolshed, a central set of satellite yards, plus cattle yards. Its 15 paddocks range over a balance of aspects with the

main body of the property facing northwest and good shelter on its southern slopes. A very reliable creek runs through the property and manmade dams make up the balance for stock water. Meanwhile, the 58ha block with its 10 paddocks has a northeasterly aspect and is well sheltered from the south. Both blocks have had extensive plantings of poplar and willow, which add to the natural totara trees gracing the land. Farming policies have been based around breeding ewes, finishing and store sales of lambs, with extra lambs traded during the autumn and winter. That amounted to 860 lambs bought in last year. Store cattle are also bought, with some traded and some finished. Last winter the property carried 1860 sheep including hoggets and 290 cattle ranging from R1s to grazing cows. The two blocks of land can be bought together or separately, with tenders closing April 11.

The breeding block has a threestand woolshed, a central set of satellite yards, plus cattle yards.

The 58ha house block might suit a retiring farmers.

Adjunct or standalone unit A TOP-QUALITY, fully-irrigated 296ha finishing property near Christchurch finishes stock for two of the country’s top cattle studs as well as growing a range of cereal crops. Located close to Lincoln and an easy commute to Christchurch, the bareland property produces top lines of finished cattle. In addition, it has grown cereal crops such as oats, barley, peas and sorghum plus brassica crops for lamb finishing.

Ben Turner from Bayleys says part of the farm operation includes buying in 1100 calves through autumn to winter on fodder beet, with incredible results achieved for carcase growth and yield. The entirely flat property has been set up for ease of management, with a high standard of fencing for most of the 27 paddocks using post and wire with electrics. A good fertiliser history underpins the

property and sets a great platform for the future. About 280ha is irrigated using a centre pivot over 105ha and two Briggs 250 Rotorainers over the balance. The property has consent to take and use groundwater at a total of 120 litres a second from two bores. Stock water is supplied from two wells to troughs and most paddocks have two troughs. A pump fills a 30,000 litre tank and then a

smaller pump takes it out to the troughs. “Good access and location make it the perfect adjunct to an existing farming operation or it has the grunt to be a standalone unit,” Turner says. The deadline sale closes March 29.
