Western Region Farm Business Update Program 2014
Published: 18 Feb 2014
This is the first time GRDC has invested in Farm Business Updates in the Western Region and this has been done in response to the priority RD&E issue ‘growers understand profitability constraints’ that was identified by the Kwinana East Regional Cropping Solutions Network. This event provides a unique opportunity to cover business management issues and hear from speakers not covered elsewhere.
Business management skills and knowledge is critical to running successful farm business. The decision making required is becoming increasingly complex as farm businesses strive to meet the key challenges of varying costs, prices and climatic conditions.
