The Wilkins family Lime and Gypsum

THEWilkins family founded Miriwinni Lime and Gypsum (MLG) during the 1970s after they identified a growing need to optimise the condition of their cane farm soils to improve crop yields. This challenge saw them secure their first limestone deposit at Mount Garnet in Far North Queensland.

Following this, the company expanded to service, first to its neighbours and then established a more sophisticated supply, distribution, and spreading network in North Queensland. During this time, other mineral deposits like dolomite, calcium silicate and gypsum were secured to supply the growing demand for sweeter soil.

In 2021 Australian Agricultural Minerals (AAM) purchased MLG and were provided with the opportunity to continue the legacy of the Wilkins family.

In 2023, MLG, under the guidance of AAM, remain committed to proudly source, supply and spread quality minerals that improve soil and crop performance across a wide variety of farming operations. With the ownership change, MLG remains 100% Australianowned and operated.

In fact, many of the same staff, including a few of the Wilkins family, will be those you hear from when contacting MLG for your next enquiry or order.

Despite soaring grower input costs, MLG has kept cost increases on all their products to a minimum, thanks to local sourcing in North Queensland. Economically, farmers who understand the fundamentals of nutrient availability with improved soil pH and nutrient balance often tell the team at MLG its costs them more not to use the MLG products in order to maintain good crop yield.

Delivering high-value minerals and services to enhance grower success drives the MLG team—a reputation of more than just suppliers but as trusted farming partners.
