Pinnaroo crowned 2020
Agricultural town of the year

Dusty paddocks may surround the southern Mallee town of Pinnaroo but this town is filled with bountiful energy for adapting and growing its agricultural future.

Fighting off years of drought, the region is now among the largest potato growing regions in Australia as locals optimise a groundwater supply and farmers continue to diversify from traditional grain, cattle and sheep production.

“Pinnaroo has embraced science, technology and innovation. My family came for corporate jobs and chose to stay, it’s our town of choice, it’s an honest, grassroots town.“
