Geneseo

Geneseo is 8 km due north of Keith in the south east of SA. It was purchased in 1958 by Lance and Ina Lines as a scrub block with 200 acres cleared and has been developed since then into 2000 acres of sand over clay country with veldt and primrose, and heavy limestone country with clover and ryegrass dominant pastures.

 In 1962 a further 1000 acres was purchased called the 'Repeater Block' which is limestone and loam country with a clover and grass pasture base. It carries an angus herd of 300+ cows and 880 stud ewes with followers. Between 300 and 400 acres is sown annually to feed crops and pasture renovation.

Canola and barley are grown to clean up paddocks prior to a pasture phase. 80Ha of irrigation is used for hay and lucerne seed production.
