The farm is fully operational with mielies, soya, wheat, and

cherries under cultivation. Of the total area, 50 hectares are irrigated,

including 3.5 hectares of cherry orchards under hail nets with micro-irrigation

and evaporative cooling systems, secured with electric fencing. Planted in

include 1,462 Cultivar 1 trees and 2,939 Cultivar 2 trees. Irrigation also

includes 35 hectares under center pivots, 8 hectares of other systems, and 3
