 Mount Pleasant Station. Purpose driven, not profit driven. Mount Pleasant Station straddles the Bogey River west of Bowen and uses sustainable grazing practices to improve soil quality and pasture condition. Controlled grazing through high rotation, intensive cell systems, has allowed Mount Pleasant to restore D-condition land back to A and B-condition while maintaining ground cover at 100% and with 30% residual at the end of the dry season. It has allowed more efficient water and nutrient cycling systems, resulting in better ground cover, less water runoff and less cross-travel of water. Native grasses, golden beard, black spear, Queensland bluegrass, kangaroo grass and forest Mitchell are returning again thanks to cell grazing. When cell grazing was first introduced, 80% of the pasture was Indian Cooch and ground cover levels were at best 60%. Today, only 45% to 50% of pasture is Indian Cooch and more than 90% ground cover is maintained.
