Peter & Belinda Moeris – ‘Myall View’, Gilgandra
The Moeris’s Maxxripper ® in action at ‘Myall View’, Gilgandra
Peter Moeris and his wife Belinda, along with their two children, Bridie (6) and Alex (4), run a farming and contracting business located at Gilgandra, in Central West NSW. Peter and Belinda purchased their 570 ha farm, ‘Myall View’, in 2013, and crop 500 ha annually. Their crops range from cereal grains, favouring barley over wheat, to chickpeas and safflower, depending on the season. Peter and Belinda also lease and farm 400 ha in the neighbouring area. Prior to the purchase of ‘Myall View’, the family were busy contract farming and dry hiring machinery. Peter started contracting when he was 19, buying a set of offsets and hiring them out, or doing the job using his father’s tractor.
Contracting has allowed Peter and Belinda to upgrade their machinery over the years, helping them to make repayments and utilise the newer machines on their own farm. Their contracting business consists of contract spraying, harvesting, spreading, speed tilling and ripping. Peter and Belinda work well as a team when making a decision. After initiating a new idea and finding an item to purchase, Peter “casually” puts the deal to Belinda, who then dissects every option financially and critically. 9 times out of 10 they meet in the middle and the deal or purchase is sealed. With the expansion of their contracting range, the couple are kept busy for most of the year, summertime is when they make the most of their K-Line machinery.
