In Australia, broadacre is land suitable for farms practicing large-scale crop operations. The key crop segments in this category are as follows:

  • oilseeds - canola, sunflowers
  • winter and summer cereals - wheat, barley, oats, triticale, sorghum, maize, millets
  • pulses - lupins, chickpeas, faba beans, field peas, mung beans, soybeans, lentils
  • sugar cane
  • rice
  • Within Australia today, these crops are farmed across more than 200,000 km².

    Broadacre is defined also as land parcels greater than 4,000 m² and certain land-use criteria for all government land designated for release and future urban zoned land.
