Crops grown on Murkadell in recent years have included wheat, canola and barley with yields for the cereals ranging from 2.5t/ha to 4t/ha depending on the season. Bribbaree receival centre and Wedallion silo are within a 17 km radius of the front gate, which make it a short turn around for trucks during harvest.
