A man has been charged with murdering a 59-year-old farmer who was found dead on his isolated property in western NSW earlier this year.

Following requests for a welfare check police went to a Miandetta home, about 25km from Nyngan early on January 25, where they found Joel Carter's body, NSW Police said in a statement on Wednesday.

"A post-mortem examination determined Mr Carter died from significant head trauma," police said.

Detectives from the State Crime Command's Homicide Squad, assisted by the Central North Police District, established Strike Force Namadgi to investigate.

Detectives arrested a 38-year-old man during a vehicle stop at Warren, northwest of Dubbo on Tuesday.

He was taken to Warren Police Station and charged with murder.

Police will allege in court that the man - who was known to Mr Carter - assaulted him at the property before stealing his car.

The Warren man was refused bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court on Wednesday.
