Agriculture Victoria is hosting upcoming farm business success workshops for farmers located in northern Victoria from June through to July.
The Setting Strategies for Farm Business Success workshops will be facilitated by Gavin Beever from Cumbre Consulting. Gavin has over 35 years of broad, practical experience in agricultural extension and farm management with a focus on creating high-functioning teams who achieve their goals.
Agriculture Victoria Regional Manager Grains Northern Rebecca Mitchell said the workshops are suitable for all members of a farm business.
'A key outcome of these workshops is the development of a basic business plan identifying actions and options that will help improve farm business management,' Miss Mitchell said.
Within the Setting Strategies workshop, participants will learn:
- what is an effective business plan and how to define success
- cashflow management and dealing with downturns
- managing and understanding human relationships
- how to undertake a business fitness check
- identifying success drivers and benchmarking.
Also presenting at the workshops will be Agriculture Victoria seasonal risk agronomist Dale Grey on understanding climate risks, leading biosecurity officer plants Jim Moran on farm biosecurity and Brendan Williams, Managing Director Autonomous Ag, on the latest in AgTech.
The 2-day workshops run from 9 am to 3 pm daily and registration is essential. Visit www.agriculture.vic.gov.au/events
