International Study Tours: Learning from Australian Farming

Colorado farmers met the Salafia family, maize growers at Leeton in the Riverina.

Australia attracts strong interest from international farming groups interested in understanding how agriculture operates in large, often dry landscapes.

Agricultural Tours Riverina regularly hosts study tours for groups from around the world.

Recent tours have included visitors from:

• North America
• Japan
• the European Union

Learning Through Direct Exchange

International visitors often choose to visit farms that produce similar commodities to their own operations.

For example, visiting farmers may examine:

• beef cattle systems
• maize production
• vegetable farming
• rice and cotton production
• sheep enterprises

These exchanges allow farmers to compare techniques used in different climates and regulatory environments.

Sharing Knowledge Across Borders

Conversations between farmers are often the most valuable part of these visits.

By sharing practical experiences, producers gain insights into how agriculture adapts to different soils, climates and market conditions around the world.

These tours highlight the global nature of modern agriculture and the value of learning directly from farmers in other regions.
