Cultivation
Ground work done right – from the first pass through to drilling, planting and spreading.
A strong start for every crop
A good crop begins with good ground work. We offer a full cultivation service across the Matamata-Piako and Hauraki districts, with the gear and experience to prepare your paddocks properly – whatever the soil and whatever you're putting in.
From primary cultivation like ploughing, subsoiling and ripping, through to discing, power harrowing and a tidy finished seedbed, we'll set things up for an even, healthy strike. We also handle direct and roller drilling, maize planting, side dressing, and lime and fertiliser spreading – so you can keep the whole job with one local team.
