Explanation:

Alluvial plains and floodplains are the best, because they are rather flat, contain fertile river silt, and have adequate access to water. Many of the world's early civilizations formed when farming in these productive areas produced a surplus, like in the Nile, Euphrates, Indus, and Yellow river valleys.

Answer:

In south eastern Australia, the best stuff is volcanic soil, either black or red. Our Murray Darling Basin is an old inland sea, so the flood plains in this area tend to have salinity issues.

You want it fairly level, of course, and not too rocky. Although there's a machine someone built that lifts all the rocks out of the soil to a certain depth, crushes them to a coarse sand size, and drops them back again. It converts a paddock of unimprovable pasture to premium crop land. I don't know how much the process costs, though.

Your other consideration is rainfall. How much, when, and how reliably. There are parts of the world where you can set your watch by the afternoon downpour. Here, our median annual rainfall is about 550mm, but historically it's anywhere between 250mm and 900mm. Summer is normally dry, sometimes extremely dry, but our wettest month ever was a January with 240mm. We didn't get many bushfires that year.
