Broadacre

The word 'broadacre' is an Australian term used to describe large-scale cropping operations. The key cropping segments in this category are cereals, largely reflected in the key winter grains being wheat, barley and oats, grain legumes such as chickpeas, lupins, lentils and field peas and oilseeds including canola. Within Australia, these crops are farmed across more than 21 million hectares.
