EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We are purchasing a property which was previously a dairy/hay farm with a long history of being well farmed in a high yield area, and converting it back into a dairy farm. The land value (contract exchanged on) is currently $7000/ac and by time of completion of shed and pasture renovation will be in the conservative vicinity of $10,000/ac - we will convert while leasing it, therefore it will have increased in value before settlement has actually taken place. We have a strong cashflow - supplying the highest paying Dairy Company in Australia currently - with ongoing increased projections for the foreseeable future. Projected strong surplus in first year, by leading Industry Financial Consultant.
