BoxVale Farm: Monto Truck Trip

We got the chance to follow Bill & Toni for some truck trips to the town of MONTO to get farm supplies. About 1 hour of bumpy truck ride.....



It's a small little town. Only with around 30 shops probably =P
We went to the Monto Butcher to collect the six pigs that have been sent to the meatworks earlier. The butcher cut the porkies into parts and we’ll need to process it back at the farm into mince for sausages and to make ham and bacon as well.

This is the grain mill that Bill and Toni get supplies from. We climb up these mills and got a good view of the surrounding area. About 100metres climbing the ladder up!! WOOHOO~~ Each of these mills can store up to 2000 tonnes of grains. And it’s one of the smallest in the area. The pole on the right side is the staircase and also the conveyor belt to carry the grain up the mill.


The sorghum paddock, which is also called Milo cause their colour is so similar.

This is what sorghum looks like!
