Scope

Please indicate which category or categories from our package fit policies this package falls under: (Please check an appropriate box below. If you are unsure, we suggest you make a pre-submission inquiry.):
- [x] data retrieval
- [ ] data extraction
- [ ] data munging
- [ ] data deposition

Explain how and why the package falls under these categories (briefly, 1-2 sentences):

Provides workflow assistance for fetching freely available data from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), the science and economics research division of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Data include trade information, soil depth, agricultural survey data on production and model outputs of agricultural production useful for agricultural researchers.

Who is the target audience and what are scientific applications of this package?
- Ag economists
- Biometricians working in agriculture
- Anyone else who is interested in Australian agricultural and economic data
