Agriculture

Victoria and Tasmania’s modern agricultural industries have grown by progressively expanding in area, diversity and volume of production. Research, trial and error, and innovation have overcome the challenges posed by an unpredictable and variable climate, infertile soils and large distance to markets. Much has been learned and is still being learned as land use systems and farming practices continue to evolve and adjust to the Australian environment.

Victoria and Tasmania has a wide variety of enterprises in the agricultural industry that ranges from the traditional wheat, sheep and wool through to the newer industries that include aquaculture and vineculture. This diverse range of agricultrual industries requires a diverse range of equipement for preperation, planting, tending, havesting and processing its produce. Some of this equipment includes; tractors, combines, rippers, finishers, cultivators and harvestors.
