Nearly 40,000 hectares of cropland is
managed in this portfolio
IntroductionWelcome to the 2016 Farm Managers report for the G.A.S. Global Agricultural Services Ltd (GAS) farm portfolio. We are trying to illustrate with this farming report some of the management decisions of the Farm Manager in relationship to the portfolio of 13 farm properties in the north eastern wheat belt of Western Australia. It is important to understand that there is nearly 40,000 hectares of cropland attached to this portfolio and they are individually managed according to where they are located. The portfolio as reported was purchased by GAS in the period 2010 to 2012. Price Sevenson Pty Ltd became the farm manager of the properties in February 2012 and has continued to manage the properties since that time. Price Sevenson changed its name to Sevenson Agriculture Pty Ltd in March 2017 and will continue the management of the farms.
The properties are located from Yuna, which is east of Geraldton, in the northern wheat belt and extend southwards through Mullewa, Morawa, Perenjori and Latham. The attached location map specifically highlights the name of the property and where it is actually located on the attached map. The area where the properties are located has a Mediterranean type climate. This means that it has a winter rainfall pattern where you would normally receive 250 millimetres of rainfall and a dry summer. The annual rainfall of 300 to 350 mils of rain occurs throughout the year with the predominance in the winter months of June, July, August and September. Summer thunderstorms are common from December through to March.
The soil types of the properties range from red loams through to sandy duplex soils. Sandy duplex soils are sand over clay or gravel base. Usually the sand is about 10 to 15 centimetres deep. The red loam soils are particularly useful as they can be fallowed. Fallowing is removing all the vegetation from the soil throughout the previous season and allowing the accumulation of rainfall which results from summer thunderstorms.
In the review of the 2016 farming year I have asked our agronomist Laurence Carslake to write a feature article on why we apply lime sand to enhance our crop yields. Shane Sander from Agvise who is our Grain Marketing consultant has provided us with a concise update of the grain market throughout 2016 and also a bit of a view into what 2017 prices may be like. This will enable you to understand the current prices that we are receiving for grain.
As part of the report we have also provided an agronomy summary which looks at each individual property.
It includes the area of crop that was planted, the rotation that is being used on the property and the yields which were achieved by the tenant or sharefarmer. For those who are more technically interested in what inputs are going into the cropping program we have also included some information on fertilisers and crop sprays or herbicides.

LocationThe farmland portfolio as reported was purchased by GAS in the period 2010 to 2012. The properties are located in what is called the north eastern wheat belt of Western Australia. The portfolio currently consists of 13 farms totalling 40,714 hectares.
The physical location of the properties start from Yuna, which is east of Geraldton, in the northern wheat belt and extends southwards through Mullewa, Morawa, Perenjori and Latham. The attached location map specifically highlights the name of the property and where it is located on the attached map.
The properties are located in a farming zone with an annual rainfall of between 300 and 350 mm. The rain usually occurs throughout the year with the predominance in the winter months of June, July, August and September. Thunderstorms occur in the December to March period.
The soil types of the properties range from red loams through to sandy duplex soils. The red loam soils are particularly useful as they can be fallowed.

Plant growth and pH (CaCl2)
Aluminium ToxicityIn soils when pH drops Aluminium becomes soluble. Soluble Aluminium retards root growth and reduces nutrient and water availability to the plant. There are many soils in WA with high Aluminium levels requiring higher rates of lime to correct pH but also to reduce levels of Aluminium toxicity. The effects of Aluminium toxicity are more noticeable when dryer conditions are experienced by a cereal crop during grain fill.

The pH of a soil affects the
plants ability to absorb
nutirents and access water from the soil
Soil pH By Laurence Carslake, reviewed by Ken SevensonSoil pH is a measure used to describe the acidity or alkalinity of a soil or given soil sample. Th pH scale is logarythmic and goes from 0 to 14, it measures the hydrogen ions in soil solution. The lower the number the more acidic the soil. pH is measured either in water or in calcium chloride. The most common method used in Western Australia (WA) when looking at agricultural production and soil analysis is the calcium chloride method.
The pH of a soil affects the plants ability to absorb nutrients and access water from the soil. In broad terms the more acidic the soil the greater the negative effect on a plants ability to grow or access required nutrients from within the soil. Plants have the ability to extract nutrition from soils within a range of soil pH depending on there level of tolerance to soil acidity. As an example wheat will grow in a wide range of soil types down to a pH of just below 5, but will perform best in a soil with a pH above 5.5 and up to 8. Wheat will grow below this range but production will be compromised by the soil limiting access to nutrients and soil stored water through limited plant root growth.
The table below highlights plant growth and soil pH.

GLOBAL AGRICULTURAL SERVICES | FARM MANAGERS ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | PAGE 5
To reduce soil acidity lime is applied to the soil. In WA the main forms of lime are; lime sand, crushed limestone, crushed dolomite and manufactured limes such as Hi Cal.
Lime is normally applied using a fertiliser spreader. Lime rates can vary from 2t/ha to 8t/ha.
Regular applications relative to production are required.

Nutrient availability to plantsFor most of the key nutrients that are required for plant growth their availability improves as the soil pH rises. The exception to this which can have a negative effect on plant growth, particularly cereals in Western Australia, are Manganese, Zinc and to some extent Copper.

Long term trial data from Department of Agriculture and Food Western Australia (DAFWA) indicate that yield responses, in trials, to an application of 2t/ha of lime have been a 12% increase when measured at sites four to five years after application and over a wide range of soil types. The amount of response is likely to vary depending on the soil type and the soils pH prior to liming. The application of lime to a soil will improve its pH over time. The amount of mechanical incorporation will have a significant effect on how quickly it works. Mechanical cultivation or mixing of the lime into the soil is done by ploughing, spading, mould boarding or knifepoint seeding. All of those methods will incorporate lime to some extent. In general, the more aggressive the mixing of the soil with lime the faster the change in pH within the soil where it can have a positive influence on plant root growth and grain yield.

Seasonal Synopsis
The farming season for the portfolio of properties could be regarded as being average to above average. A number of properties were advantaged by good summer rains which put moisture into fallows and this reflected in the crop yields which were attained on certain properties. Seeding got underway early with good April and May rains which enabled the crop to be well established early in the season. Potential yields looked good early in the growing season and with average to above average rains in spring we were looking forward to an excellent crop. Unfortunately the spring was a bit dryer than average and this resulted in some yields that were less than expected.
The other confounding issue for some farms was the extent of frost which affects the flowering of the wheat plant and stops grain fill. This can either be a flower frost or a stem frost which truncates the main stem and prevents grain fill. A combination of these appears to have hurt crop yields in 2016. Although yield loss from frost is a common event in the south eastern wheat belt it is not a common event in the north eastern wheat belt. Crops or farms to the west of our portfolio were badly affected by frost; this is virtually unheard of in the immediate history of cropping in the northern wheat belt.
The profitability of cropping in 2016 was also affected by some issues to do with grain quality. Protein levels generally were 1 to 1.5 percent lower than normal when harvest took place in November 2016. The other aspect of grain quality was because of the lack of filling rain, there was a lot of light weight grain and frost affected grain in the samples and this resulted in price discounts being applied to a lot of grain that was sold.
The other issue was the decline in wheat price. If you read the article by our Grain Marketing consultants “Agvise” they will detail the movement of grain prices throughout the year and the resulting lower prices at harvest in 2016. The combination of grain quality and price did have an adverse effect on the
profitability of a number of our crops in 2016. This was compensated slightly by the better yields obtained on some properties. The properties which were adversely affected were ones which had quiet severe frost damage resulting in below average crop yields.
To help you better understand the way that the properties are operated in any farming year there are a number of properties which are share farmed and therefore the effect of grain quality and grain yield has an effect on profitability. The remaining properties are leased and the tenant farmer takes the risk of adverse seasons with poor yields and lower grain prices. With our lease properties the income is stable and fixed for that particular lease period , be it for a year or 3 years and hence we do know in advance what sort of financial return we are going to receive in any year. A combination of share farming and lease does give us the potential to benefit from better cropping years and achieve a higher EBIT on those share farming properties which in turn benefits the performance of the whole portfolio.

rains which put moisture into

Market Overview
By Shane Sander, Agvise Management Consultants
Overview• Australia will carry increased stocks of wheat, barley and canola into 17/18
following a record winter crop in 16/17.
• Grain and oilseed prices were relatively soft throughout March and April before rallying to season highs in early June. Large crops in key northern hemisphere producing regions resulted in excessive stocks of all major crops with values pressured to 10 year lows.
• Global stocks of wheat remain elevated and prices are expected to remain weak – refer Figure 1, Australian Wheat Production since 2007/08.

• Increased global end stocks has been reflected in a steady reduction in prices since July 2015, refer Figure 2 – Wheat Prices in Western Australia since October 2014.
• The International Grains Councils (IGC) forecasts a small reduction (-0.3%) in 17/18 wheat harvested area. Global production is projected to fall 2% on average yields. This is potentially the first production decrease in five years and will limit further price falls.

• Overall Grain quality was good with 57% of production graded as APW1 and APW2
• 42% of production was delivered as ASW1 due to protein levels being below 10%
• All wheat was sold via fixed grade cash contracts at the completion of harvest• Average sale price achieved across all farms and all grades was $240.92/t FIS.
2017 Forecast• Global stocks of wheat remain elevated but lower prices have done enough to
encourage the commencement of reduced acreages in 17/18. Initial estimates on the US spring wheat planting show a reduction in sown area year-on-year of 8.30%
• The International Grains Council (IGC) sees overall world wheat area down marginally, but average yields will see global production fall 2%. IGC predicts a modest reduction in ending stocks in 17/18.
• Despite reductions in sown area we believe that any upside in values remain capped while global stocks remain elevated, however, further price movement to the downside should be limited.
• In recent times, drier than normal conditions in the Mid-West USA, Canada, Ukraine and Western Australia in combination with reduced plantings have seen significant improvements in all wheat markets. The AUD price of wheat in the Kwinana port zone of Western Australia has improved to $330/t – more than $100/t from the seasonal lows of 2016
• Despite this recent market improvement in prices the market will need to see ongoing reductions to global supply in order for these higher prices to be sustained.
