We are back and we are sitting down with LAWD Senior Director, Tim McKinnon to get the latest on Australia's rural real estate market.
A few summarising points:
- Beef Australia is more than just Beef - international interest across all of Aussie Ag came to Rockhampton in the first week of May.
- The market dynamics between family farms and corporate/institutional investors vary by sector and region - who's buying and competing where?
- Government policies, such as live export bans, can create uncertainty for investor. We discuss the potential question marks that can arise from Government implemented change.
- Farmland values have experienced significant growth in the past decade, and while there may be a slowdown in the short term, long-term growth is expected.
- Renewable energy projects and agriculture can coexist, with wind farms providing additional income for landowners
What is Humans of Agriculture?
We're going behind the scenes to see and understand modern agriculture, because no matter whether you're in it or not, you probably don't know all the pieces to just how incredible, diverse and multi-layered agriculture is. We do this by uncovering the real stories, experiences and voices of modern agriculture.
