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.
