CROPPING
Providence is a very unique farming operation using cutting edge biological sustainable approach to farming. This is reflected in the average crop yields and livestock health. Basically this principle is applied by the application pure fish protein to stubble, pasture or other crop residues, to promote microbial activity and residue decomposition. The primary role of the digestion program is to break down stubble or plant residues, converting them into stable and useful forms of organic carbon, most importantly humus. As a bonus, when applied to stubble or pasture the program also converts the unpalatable plant matter into nutritious food source for livestock. This process is non-toxic to humans, animals and plants. A sample of
current soil tests and paddock management is attached to this memorandum.

LIVESTOCK
Providence has in the past run a very successful and profitable livestock operation. The property has run 1000 breeding ewes and lambs. In conjunction with the sheep operation a further 25-30 breeding beef cattle produced additional income. This enterprise has been run alongside cropping and fodder production.
