Land values and driving profit margins

EVENT DESCRIPTION

3:30 to 7:30 pm

The business of farming: Land values and profit margins

Join us at The Criterion Hotel in Sale for this event.

With farmland values rising, interest rates remaining high and seasonal conditions changing, it is important to understand how your farm business is performing.

This is especially important for farmers managing drought, recovering from difficult seasons or planning for the future. Good financial decisions can help build a stronger and more resilient farm business.

Rising land values can increase your wealth, but they do not always improve farm profit or cash flow.

Join Chris Jehu, farm business consultant from Countryside Business Partners, and Joe Boyle, economist at Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Agribusiness, for a practical session on land values, farm profit and investment decisions.

Topics will include:

• how local farmland values and key commodity prices have changed over the past 12 months
• how to understand operating profit, return on assets and your ability to service debt
• the difference between wealth gained from rising land values and profit earned from farming
• how to decide whether to expand, lease land, reduce debt or invest your money elsewhere.

This session will give farmers practical information to help assess investment options, manage financial risk and make confident business decisions.

Whether you are thinking about buying more land, expanding your farm, reducing debt or simply want to better understand your financial position, this event will provide useful insights to help improve the long-term profitability and resilience of your farm business.

Dinner will be provided.
