Our trip took us from Carrasco International Airport in Montevideo to our first stop, La Pilarica, a 424-hectare farm in Soriano, where we grow row crops and rear cattle using a regenerative adaptive grazing system we developed on some of the country’s most fertile soils.
From there, we drove 170 km north to visit El Tauro and Cabatir, two adjacent farms with a total area of 888 hectares, which also combines sustainable grass-fed cattle rearing with crops.
We then proceeded 150km north to La Victoria, a 4,800-hectare farm supplying calves to other Uruguayan properties in The Land Group’s portfolio, after which we drove 200km to El Castillo, our 1,974 hectares northernmost property where we breed cattle at the crossroads of Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina.
We finally backtracked 90 km south to El Totoral, a 925-hectare farm growing crops under irrigation, before ending our trip 265 km east in Villa Lucero, our 9,000-hectare flagship property, where we rear cattle and grow rain-fed crops, rice, and pulpwood.
I was very fortunate to experience sunny, warm weather, which allowed me to inspect our lush pastures, healthy cattle, and harvest-ready soybean in the best possible conditions. Sometimes work feels like vacation.
