Agrihaul &
Chicken Manure

Agrihaul got its start in 1989 as a small agricultural carrier that carted grain, gypsum and cow manure and cleaned a few chicken sheds, mainly selling the manure to market gardeners and vineyards. However, with the poultry industry expanding so greatly in the last 10 years, we now specialise entirely on chicken manure, growing from a humble 15,000 cubic metres to approximately 70,000 cubic metres per annum.

While we aerobically compost an average of 7,500 cubic metres for the vegetable, almond and citrus industries, a majority of our compost now goes to broadacre cereal farmers, predominately in the Mid North and York Peninsula districts. Many farmers have benefitted significantly from chicken manure use, either as an adjunct or as a total replacement of conventional fertilisers over a period of a number of years. This has a greater benefit for lighter soils, especially sand hills and light soils that blow out.
