Divisions

Farming

DA Hall owns multiple rural properties within 45 kilometres of Millmerran. This land is used for broad acre dry land crop production, irrigated crop production and is the location of the various intensive animal production units and the Feedmill.

The main crops produced by our farmers are sorghum, wheat and barley. These cereal grains are harvested and transported to DA Hall & Co’s Feedmill forming an integral part of our end-to-end supply chain. In a response to market growth and changing consumer preferences, our Farming Division has recently expanded to include organic cropping to meet the growing demands of the Organic Poultry Division. Our farmers strive to produce commodities of the highest standard to ensure the very best nutrition for our happy hens.

Feedmill

Our Feedmill was constructed in 1983 and has undergone considerable upgrades and has increased manufacture from 200t to 2200t per week between our conventional and organic mill. Both mills operate under an automated system producing conventional and organic certified rearing and layer mash that is specifically formulated by our nutritionist to support our hens throughout their development and production.

Our team consists of a management team, QA officers, mill operators, weighbridge & admin staff, mill assistant operators, premix operators, warehouse operators & transport operators. Thus offering a vast array of opportunities to learn new skills through internal and external training as we also promote personal growth and development.

We use the latest NIR (Near Infra Red) technologies to accurately assess raw materials and finished feed, we are able to access real time data which allows our Feedmill to have a rapid response to adjust feed suitability to best meet production requirements, we also offer state of the art unloading facilities which places us in a category of preferred destinations for growers and suppliers alike.
