Approximately 420ha is flood protected farming country.
The country is all generally level uniform grey black friable cracking clay loams.

Currently there is 200ha of oats planted.
The remainder of the property is sorghum and dryland cotton from the 2018/19 summer.
The country is typical grey flood out type country which is subject to inundation in times of minor flood events.
Annual rainfall averaging approximately 550mm is supplemented by a solar pump distributing water out of the McIntyre for stock and house use.
