Statement of Commitment :

We will take action to:

• Monitor ground cover, pasture condition and irrigation water application to conserve soil and water;
• Comply with legislation and regulations applicable to our use of natural resources in farming;
• Have a framework for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets.
  
  We will do these things in a process of continuous improvement, compliant with the ISO 14001 international standard, through the Australian Landcare Management System (ALMS*), using the myEMS software tool.

Our Business Aim is :

Maintaining a family based business which operates harmoniously and supportively for its members, for the community and for the natural environment in which we live and farm.

* ALMS delivers environmental improvement at both the farm and broader landscape levels through:
• Applying an internationally recognised and audited management system
• Requiring links with catchment priorities and strategies
• Requiring continuous support for the conservation of biodiversity

ALMS aims for improved environmental management with recognition for land managers who provide that improvement.
