Agriculture Victoria
Ag Vic we are running a free 2-day workshop on reviewing and setting farm business plans.
The workshop is designed specifically for Loddon Mallee croppers and mixed farmers. It's a great opportunity for farm businesses in the region to delve into a range of topics such as reviewing their overall business direction, considering farm succession planning, managing staff, looking at AgTech opportunities and better understanding climate drivers and setting business goals.
The workshop will be delivered by myself, Roger Harrower Ag Vic, Dale Grey, Seasonal Risk Agronomist for Agriculture Victoria and Brendan Williams, Managing Director of Autonomous Ag.
The workshop will be held at the Underbool Bowling Club Monday June 30th to Tuesday July 1, starting at 9am each day and finishing at 3pm, with a locally catered free lunch included.
This workshop is a great chance for farm businesses to discuss and review their current strategies and opportunities and consider any adjustments that might be needed for future business decisions.
