Postlethwaite Farm is a business with family members Allen, Yvonne, Neale and Trevor working in partnership. Postlethwaite Farm produces grain using conservation cropping techniques to achieve clean and green soil, water and air environment. The Farm is located in the Wimmera region of Victoria with Mediterranean type climate with hot dry summers and cold wet winters. The farm comprises 6000 acres of freehold and leased land including 250 acres of native timber that is not grazed with livestock and supports thousands of young trees, native birds and animals.

The farm is a dry land farming business growing a range of crops in rotation. Prior to 1982 the Farm utilised conventional farming systems. Since 1983 No Tillage and Stubble Retention techniques are used as well as Controlled Traffic and Row Cropping systems which were introduced in 1999. The farm is continuously cropped and there are no livestock.
