Classified land depicting the suitability for growing various agricultural enterprises including Barley, Blueberries, Carrot seed, Carrots, Cherries, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus nitens, Hazelnuts, Industrial Hemp, Linseed, Olives, Onions, Pinus radiata, Poppies, Potatoes, Pyrethrum, Raspberries, Sparkling wine grapes, Strawberries, Table wine grapes and Wheat. This complements a range of additional pasture crop species including Lucerne, Rye Grass, Cocksfoot Continental, Cocksfoot Mediterranean, Tall Fescue Continental, Tall Fescue Mediterranean, Red Clover, Strawberry Clover, White Clover and Phalaris. All map outputs assume water availability is not a constraint. Suitability is determined from mapped soil and climate parameters guided by established crop rules that allocate the land as either Well suited, Suitable, Moderately suitable or Unsuitable with subclasses incorporated to identify situations where management of limitations can improve crop suitability. The outputs are an extension of the original 'Wealth from Water' datasets that originally covered the extents of the Meander irrigation scheme area of 45,000 ha, Flinders Island area of 10,000 ha and 27,000 ha in the Midlands. The new outputs now delineate all land areas of Tasmania at a spatial resolution of 30m with recent efforts of soil sampling and climate monitoring focussed towards the midland region of Tasmania (as part of the Water for Profit program).
