Agri-business Benefits
In Glen Innes Highlands we have some of the best basalt grazing country in Australia with a relatively high rainfall of 856mm and this tends to be higher towards the east with closer to 1000mm annual rainfall.
Rural and semi-rural prices will vary depending on the soil quality. The soils in the region tend to be either red, chocolate brown or black basalt around Glen Innes and Glencoe, loamy granite and basalt mix as you head further east, and lighter granite and trap rock, clay based soils as you head north. Carrying capacities are around 1 cow per 3-5 acres.
For those coming from most other regions the carrying capacity of livestock justifies the higher acreage prices per acre. Many farms are inter-generational and are often tightly held onto. Some farming is done around Glen Innes with varying crops from corn, oats and soybeans produced.
Fat lambs, wool and beef are the main livestock along with multiple horse studs. There are some poultry farms, beef feedlots and piggeries in the area along with fruit and vegetable productions. The variety of options for land use are all factors driving rural land prices. There are also forestry interests in the area.
