Agriculture

Agriculture is one of the largest employers in Towong Shire and adds value to our community through employment and job creation, as well as the flow on business created by thriving farm enterprises. Through high quality land stewardship and constantly evolving best practice, Towong Shire’s agricultural sector creates clean and green grain, meat and fibre product and adds to the amenity of the Shire.
