If you've been looking for the ideal turnkey cropping property in the Great Southern region it's hard to go past this one. The nucleus of Philos Farm was taken over by the current owners in 1951 and run as a mixed crop and stock farm for many years. A change of direction in 2007 saw the business change to a continuous cropping regime and the farm has been developed since then to facilitate efficient, profitable farming practices. In 2023 approximately a quarter of the farm is planted to GM canola with the remaining three quarters fairly evenly split between wheat and barley. Weed burdens have been kept very low and the 2023/4 harvest will be the 5th year an integrated Harrington Seed Destructor has been utilised. Fertiliser history is very strong and combined with a liming program based on soil tests has resulted in the property holding potentially very high yielding crops again in 2023/4. Complimenting the wide open paddock design and cropping emphasis is a high capacity set of farming infrastructure including multiple, modern grain silos, 350 and 120 tonne fertiliser sheds, two 50 tonne Flexi-N tanks, large, late model machinery shed, large concrete floored lockup workshop, several older machinery and GP sheds and a 4-5 stand shearing shed and sheep yards. The four bedroom stone and brick homestead was originally constructed in 1917 before being extensively renovated in the 1980s to provide comfortable accommodation for the family. A pre-fab self contained worker's accommodation unit is nearby.

Philos Farm is a credit to the current managers and must be seen to be fully appreciated.
