RESPOSTAS DE "AGRICULTURE IN AUSTRALIA"

Traditionally, Australia was famous for producing wheat and wool,

but times have changed in recent years, with many farmers electing

to be more diverse in their crop and livestock range. It is now

quite common to see farms with more exotic fruit and vegetables. Farmers

are unlikely to sell their produce locally nowadays, but rather to

the factories in the cities. As a result, farms are now large-scale producers where thousands of tonnes of crops are cultivated.

Another aspect that is different nowadays is irrigation. In the past, farmers

would just flood the fields but now it is common to see

sprinkler systems everywhere. This means that more water is conserved, which has

been helpful with the drought that has severely impacted the majority of the

farms in the southern states of the country.

Hopefully, the creativity the farmers have shown in recent times will continue.
