Farms For Sale Temora Shire: Farmbuy.com Buyers' Guide 

Temora’s origins are steeped in farming and gold. While the goldfields may no longer be active, Temora remains in the heart of the grain growing area of southern New South Wales - and is a great place to buy farms for sale.

Temora is located in the centre of the Riverina, an important grain-producing region of over five million hectares, delivering 2.5 million tonnes of grain (cereals, pulses and oilseeds) and valued at over $792 billion annually.

According to the 2016 census, Temora’s population is 6,236. The region showed a population increase at an average rate of 0.9 per cent from the previous census in 2011. Based on these figures, projected population growth suggests that by 2036, Temora Shire’s population should reach almost 6,800.

Services such as electricity, gas, water and waste as well as construction, transport and healthcare contribute significantly to the estimated output generated by Temora’s economy of $672.058 million. The agriculture, healthcare, education and retail sectors are the highest ranked employment industries in the region.

Farms For Sale Temora Shire: Agriculture In Temora

The Temora Shire punches above its weight within the agricultural industry.

Wheat, canola, barley, oats and other cereal crops, as well as fat lambs and wool, dominate the agriculture production in the area, with a contribution of around $158 million in output in 2016. Services such as machinery dealerships, wool brokers, sheepologists, grain handling companies, agriculture suppliers and the Temora Agricultural Innovation Centre (TAIC) mean producers in the area are supported from sowing to harvest and in between.

TAIC sits on over 30ha on site on the edge of Temora that is managed as a combined research and commercial mixed farm by FarmLink Research on behalf of Temora Shire Council. The centre provides dryland and irrigated plots for field trials as well as office and laboratories for a range of leading Australian and international organisations. Farmlink is Australia’s premier farming systems group, with over 400 members across southern NSW.

Nearby, developments such as the Inland Rail project mean more opportunities will arise for local farmers and agronomists, and proximity to the Boman Special Activation Precinct keeps costs down and industry booming.

The soil and rainfall conditions are typical of the major cereal and canola production areas of southern NSW, making Temora ideal for field crop, pasture and livestock research, development and extension. Annually the rainfall average is 525 mm and the soil is predominantly of an acidic red duplex profile.
