Australian real estate agents have been promoting the benefits of New
Zealanders buying dairy farms in Victoria and I was wondering about how New
Zealanders are doing there.
I know there are some onVicDairy, but comments from all would be appreciated
please.
A few specific questions for APPROXIMATE answers are -
Average dairy herd size?
Average dairy farm size?
Average cost for an average size dairy farm?
Average production of milk solids per hectare?
How common and profitable is irrigation?
We know that your payout is higher than Fonterrašs but not higher than the
NZ$4.50/kg MS odd (allowing for no shares) of Open Country Cheese.
How do other costs compare.
Best wishes,
