Lowcliffe has flat contour. Soils range from peat to stony silt loams. Lowcliffe includes 255 hectares of leased land. The high water table makes good drainage essential, and a three million litre above-ground effluent storage tank has been installed. The majority of the farm is under pivot irrigation with the balance irrigated by travelling guns and sprinklers.
