Business planning guide for farmers recovering from drought

This report was commissioned by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) to assist growers and advisers in making the complex decisions that will be necessary in planning and implementing strategies to manage the threats and opportunities for the 2016 season given the effects of past and on-going climatic and financial challenges.

The guidelines in this report have been tailored specifically for those businesses which have very limited finances to fund a cropping programme for the coming season. It will also have some relevance to those businesses with better finances but who are also looking to reduce their risk in some parts of their enterprise.
