Zambeef is a major cropping operation growing 350 hectares of irrigated crops and 1,100 hectares of dry land crops per year. Zambeef continues to expand its cropping activities as this is a very successful division within the company. During the current year Zambeef commissioned two new centre pivots totaling 150 hectares.

The irrigated crops include wheat, winter maize and lucern for the dairy while the dry land crops include commercial maize, soyas and maize silage for the dairy. The cropping division is not only a profitable division in its own right but also complements the beef business very well with the wheat straw being bailed and fed to the cattle in the feedlot after the wheat is combined. In addition cattle are backgrounded on the maize stova prior to being put in the feedlot. Zambeef has commissioned a modern drier and silo system and with the priority placed on agriculture by the new Zambian government, Zambeef plans to continue expanding this division.
