Our Farms
Across more than 11,000ha Priag Marketing affiliate JKG Pastoral Co produces both winter and summer crops. These crops include milling wheat, canola, chickpeas, faba beans, cotton and sorghum.
JKG Pastoral Co has a strong emphasis in utilising modern day farming practices and the use of technology to achieve successful farming results. Like many businesses the cost of inputs is outweighing profitability therefore we need to continue to be streamlined, cost efficient and strategic with the way we sell our commodities.
Our farming practices use a combination or our own equipment to plant, spray and harvest crops as well as contractors.
Crops are marketed as either ex-farm, delivered silo or delivered into the packing industry. These crops will either be sold into the domestic market or sent further afield to South East Asia and the Middle East. Priag Marketing employs local expert agronomists, providing both agronomic and gross margin advice.
Having farming operations puts Priag Marketing in a unique position to understand the needs of our clients first hand.
Our History of Farming
Kevin grew up on a family farm at Wee Waa in northern NSW. After 32 years in the agricultural commodity marketing business the decision was made that if we were going to market it, we might as well grow it as well. He then went on to establish JKG Pastoral Co as the farming identity to farm both the farms we own and the farms we lease.
Melburra, situated 45km north east of Narrabri and Wentworth, situated 15km north west of Narrabri .
Roma Station and Myalls are situated 45km north west of Narrabri.
Whilst we understand the joys of farming, we are acutely aware of the price pressures and the influences of weather on the production capabilities of farming. We employ a combination of owning and leasing as a way of risk management within our business.
