Uruguay – Renovation of the cattle Corral at La Esperanza farm – February 2016
We decided to renovate the aging corral already in place when we purchased the farm in 2008, and which has become obsolete. The renovation is almost completed and we reused as much as possible resources available at the farm to perform this upgrade.
This extensive refurbishment will improve services provided to our cattle (heard selection and classification by category, veterinary service and transfer of livestock).
Paraguay – Rice harvest at Salitre Cue begin on February 02, 2016
As forecasted, we begin the harvest of our 1st plots at the farm in favourable weather conditions.
Paraguay – Rice field as of January 2016
We sowed successfully all the forecasted surface and our rice is developing very well for now as you can see on the pictures. We are going to start the harvest of our 1st rice plots during the 1st week of February.
Argentina – Flooding of several rivers in South America due to “El Niño”
The Uruguay, Paraguay and Paraná Rivers began to overflow in late December 2015 after a period of unusually heavy rain, blamed on El Niño. Since then over 120,000 people have been forced from their homes. The current flood in South America involves three major rivers and their tributaries, running through 4 different countries (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay).
One of those is the El Dorado river which is connected upstream to our farm San Bartolo located in Salta province.
None of our staff member or livestock have been affected but you can see the current flood situation on one of our plots dedicated to natural pasture.
