"Plainview" is situated close to Bongeen in a very tightly held farming area. The farm is owned by several investors including the Thompson family from "Knapdale", a well known adjoining property.
"Plainview" has been operated by David Thompson who has sold "Knapdale" and moved to North Queensland resulting in the sale of "Plainview" by auction.
"Plainview" with its Norilee Waco soils, 1000 Megalitre ring tank, 5 laser leveled fields, is generally regarded as one of the most productive and best grain growing properties on the Darling Downs.
The farm with its superior soils has consistently produced high yielding cereal crops and cotton for many years.
The auction of "Plainview" on the 6th March 2009 presents a unique opportunity for farmers to purchase some of the Darling Downs most sought after grain growing country.
