Description: Downloads and imports agricultural data from the
        Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and
        Sciences (ABARES) <https://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares> and
        the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)
        <https://www.abs.gov.au>. Supports multiple data formats
        including spreadsheets, comma‑separated value (CSV) files, and
        geospatial data such as shapefiles and GeoTIFFs. Covers topics
        such as broadacre crops, livestock, soils, commodities and
        related agricultural information. The package standardises
        field names and data formats to improve interoperability and
        simplify analysis. It also streamlines the import of geospatial
        data and corrects common issues found in these data sources
        upon loading.
