ONE MOMENT
McGregor is the road that doesn't go anywhere — turn off at Robertson, follow it to McGregor, turn around. That's why it's the way it is: small blocks, boutique wineries, retreat-style farms, and quiet. The contract work here looks different from Robertson — fewer hectares, more attention per row, equipment that fits a one-and-a-half-row gap.
A McGregor vineyard might be six hectares total. The big-rig spraying contractors don't show up because the unit economics don't work; small-block growers end up either doing it themselves or skipping a programme. We've geared ourselves for these jobs — equipment that turns inside the row, calibration that works for tank volumes a fifth of the size, and a callout charge that doesn't punish a small block.
Mostly inter-row herbicide work, some baling on the larger smallholdings, and increasingly slug pellet spreading where bio-style farming uses heavy mulch. We run the same GPS-tracking and per-block reporting for a six-hectare vineyard as for a fifty-hectare one — the records are the records.
McGregor sits 180 km from Gordon's Bay, end of the R317 — about two and a quarter hours. We come in past the dam, through town, and out to the vineyards on the south side. Tight roads in places; we keep our trailer narrow.
We don't have a minimum hectare for McGregor work — but we batch jobs in the area on the same day. Call us, tell us your block, and we'll fit you into the next McGregor run.
Pick up the phone. One call usually settles it.
