how are they going to get the land, page-24

'The 15% of land that is not fit for crop growth'

I am assuming this is salt affected land you are referring to. There's not a lot you can do with salt affected land with defined profitable outcomes (saltbush for maintenance grazing and brushwood/melaleuca for fencing).

The marginal land that is NOT affected by salinity, ie drought prone, frost prone, sandy, acid. This is the soil that sandalwood thrives on down to 150mm. Both sandalwood and mallees are coming head to head in competing for the same marginal land. Likely see another 5000ha planted to sandalwood in WA this year. Thats why there is a shortage of nursery space in this State. You can confirm this by ringing any nursery in the Wheatbelt ...

COZ have shown no interest in sandalwood to date and that is a great shame. If they did I'd seriously consider owning them because it brings commodity production (in this case an oilseed) to the carbon sink model and that produce two incomes streams ...
