01 — Seed
The right genetics.
We source and multiply seed nationally and internationally, with the explicit intent of supplying our grower base at significantly reduced prices.
We're recruiting contract growers across SA, NSW and Victoria. Seed, agronomy support, and a committed offtake from September 2026.
We've built SouthFibre around the realities of Australian broadacre farming — irrigation, seasonality, rotation, and risk.
We source and multiply seed nationally and internationally, with the explicit intent of supplying our grower base at significantly reduced prices.
We conduct seed trials. We share what works — variety, sowing window, retting, and harvesting.
Our Central Victorian processing line is being commissioned for September 2026. Grower biomass has a confirmed home — not a speculative market.
100–120 days from planting to harvest, ~70% of nutrients returned to soil, deep root system to break compaction — hemp earns its place in a rotation.
Hemp grows as an irrigated crop across every Australian state — primarily in summer, in temperatures between 15–27 °C, in fertile, well-drained clay loam or silt loam soils.
Sowing is typically September through November, with harvest into Australia's summer/autumn shoulder. After harvest the crop is retted in the field, dried to below 12% moisture, and baled for transport.
Tell us where your paddocks are, what irrigation you have, and what acreage you can put to a 2026/27 hemp crop. We'll come back within one business day.
