Agriculture

At Bracken, we practice conservation agriculture. We take what nature provides and practice sustainable agriculture – farming without harming the environment. This way we proudly supply a resulting quality product, which is the Bracken way. We have carefully selected our farmlands to ensure ideal growing conditions for our crops, whilst keeping abreast of technology.

We have 375ha of agricultural land, which is used for the production of seed maize and soya’s. Seed maize helps with sustaining employment in the area and fits in perfectly with our Forestry operations. We also have a seed maize drier to ensure that top quality seed is produced.

Soybeans are planted and used as rotation crops to break the practice of monoculture and to provide the seed maize with a volunteer-free seedbed.
