High Profits From Grain - Management Guideline
Published: 15 Feb 2018
This Management Guideline has been designed for grain growers as part of the GRDC’s Project RDP00013 ‘The integration of technical data and profit drivers for more informed decisions’. This national project is being delivered across the 14 major grain growing agroecological zones in Australia through the collaborative partnering of five agribusiness consulting organisations.
This report identifies the key management affected profit drivers by agro-ecological zone and provides some guidelines around how growers can manage them. The profit drivers have been identified through the collection of more than 300 benchmarking datasets nationally. These benchmarking datasets have been analysed by the respective project partners to identify the key management affected profit drivers by agro-ecological zone. The quantitative benchmarking analysis has also been complemented by a qualitative survey process with grain growers across each region.
It has been valuable for the project to be driven at the agro-ecological zone level where each of the project partners have been able to draw out local insights and perspectives. There are a range of environmental and enterprise characteristics that are unique to each agroecological zone and the applied project methodology allows these to be explored.
A consistent message from the project is that there is a large gap in financial performance between the Top 20% businesses and the average business in each agroecological zone. There is abundant opportunity for many grain growers to increase profit from the resources that they currently have available to them.
