APTITUDE	Agriculture y cattle fattening Of the 4200 hectares there are aprox. 1200 hectares developed for agriculture since 3/5 years ago, worked with direct drilling, which covers 28.6% of the total surface and is in one block. They have been worked rotating the fields with soya/maize, soya/sorghum, fertilization with superfosfate (46/0/0) and diamonium-fostate (18/46/0) and wheat coverage or sorghum stubble in the winter. Yields obtained: Campaign 2005/2006: • Soja 3,000 kgs/hec. avarage (450 hec.). • Sorgo 7,000 kgs/hec. avarage (400 has.). Campaign 2006/2007: • Soya 3,800 kgs/hec. average (380 has.). • Sorghum 5,000 average (640 has.) There is an area for holding young weaners for the fattening and old cows with pastures of triticale (a hybrid originated by a mixture of wheat & oats) which grows very well producing a large amount of green grass in autumn and winter (when the rain is scarce), which covers approx. 200 hectares of the developed agricultural land, which is available almost immediately for putting down to soya, maize, wheat and sorghum. Needless to say this soil has the same characteristics to the soil dedicated to the rest of the developed agricultural land. Cattle: In all this area destined to cattle, the fences are new with thick hard posts, 6 semi-hard wood droppers between the posts which are 10 mts apart and 6 strand of steel wire Nº 17/15. All the paddocks have drinking water, provided with intermediate australian tanks, which in their turn are supplied by the main water tank from the working homestead. This provision of water is realized normally by gravity, and in high consumption areas helped by pumps, in both cases through P.V.C. underground piping. Raifall regime: The rainfall oscillates between 24 to 26 inches per year (600 to 700 mms) compensating in mid spring, October to April, and in winter it only rains between 2 to 3 inches (30 to 60 mms)
