Grains Industries
Queensland’s broadacre and intensive graingrowers produce a range of crops including wheat, maize (corn), barley, sorghum, chickpea, mungbean, soybean, sunflowers and peanuts. These crops are grown across wide parts of the State ranging from broadacre farming enterprises in the southwest near Dirranbandi and St George, inland across the Darling Downs, through Central Queensland and parts of North Queensland. The State’s most widely grown winter grain is wheat, while the most widely grown summer grain is sorghum, both of which are currently valued at just over $300 million.
