Great time to be a cane farmer

By Jo Kennett

ANYONE WHO has ever farmed knows the feeling of peace and fulfilment — in between the tractor breaking down, the torrential downpour just when harvest is about to start and the dearth of rain when it’s time to plant.

Here in the Tweed Shire, the challenges of farming are balanced by the joy of living in absolute heaven on earth.

Right now things are looking pretty heavenly for cane farmers, with world sugar prices surging to

$842.08 per tonne in March this year, the first time they have been over $800 per tonne since 1980 and double what they were two years ago.

That’s brought a surge of interest in cane farms from the local area and beyond. According to one respected local industry insider who didn’t want to be named, the future of the cane industry is looking extremely bright.

“The crops are coming back well from the floods,” he said.

“Last year they were average but they are much better this year.

“The sugar industry looks like having a bright future for the next five to seven years because the price is good. It’s heaps better than it has been in the past.

“There are a lot of cotton farmers moving here and buying cane farms because of the market, as well as the lifestyle and the future prospects.

“It’s a great lifestyle but if you are going to buy a property, buy it from an agent who has knowledge of the local area. You can’t put a value on that knowledge.”

Ray White Rural Tweed Valley principal Brad Franks specialises in rural properties and has a wealth of knowledge of the local area.

He currently has some exceptional cane farms on the market, including “Knightleigh” at 279 Dulguigan Road, Dulguigan, a 112 hectare (276 acre) property with 90.59 hectares available for sugar cane production and other potential income.

It also has 21.01 hectares (51.91 acres) of elevated, flood-free hill country which used to grow bananas and was, more recently, running around 20 head of cattle.

There is an original 1930s homestead, subtropical rainforest hill country, a machinery shed, 366 metres of Rous River frontage and ample water with three dams and windmill-supplied bore water.

There is also DA approval for a large building on the hill and aquaculture or algae farming, as well as a private farm quarry with good road base material for your own roads, all just 6.6 kilometres from Murwillumbah.

Brad is also marketing 9441 Tweed Valley Way, Chinderah, a 90 hectare (223 acre) property with organic certification which has been used to grow organic tea trees. The property has sheds, greenhouses and better still, a distillery, with 640 metres of Tweed River frontage, a large home and a swimming pool.

Elders Tweed Valley and Coolangatta principal Craig Dudgeon has a fourth-generation farm up for sale at 371 Dulguigan Road, Dulguigan, for the first time in 150 years. This 53 hectare (132 acre) property has just over 40 acres of sugar cane and the remainder is grazing land.

“It’s a good mix of cane and

elevated grazing land with some scenic escarpment rainforest with stunning views overlooking the Tweed Valley and Mount Warning,” Craig said.

“You can get the income from the cane as well as running some cattle or horses.

It features an original fourbedroom home and Craig said there are plenty of lovely elevated sites to build your dream home looking out over the valley, all just ten minutes to Murwillumbah and 30 minutes to Gold Coast International Airport.

With sugar prices expected to remain high over the next few years, it’s the perfect investment opportunity if you are looking for some peace and quiet in one of the most beautiful rural shires in the country.
