This publication aims to explore benchmarks and decision making around machinery investment on-farm. It includes a consolidation of industry resources, collates machinery investment level benchmarks and is designed to assist growers in determining machinery, maintenance and labour investment levels relative to peers.

Kondinin Group worked together with three consulting groups spread nationally to compile the data in this publication: Agripath, Pinion Advisory and Farmanco.

The case studies have a geographic spread and were selected to compliment the benchmark data. They provide examples of the range of machinery investment approaches taken by growers around the country.
