EVENT DESCRIPTION

9 am to 4 pm

This one-day workshop will help Victorian farmers make clear and confident decisions during dry and changing seasonal conditions.

Based on RCS Management principles from the Grazing for Profit school, the workshop focuses on the challenges facing your region. It looks at the practical decisions that affect farm performance, business resilience and wellbeing.

You will learn how to:

  • assess feed and pasture availability
  • understand the relationship between stocking rates and carrying capacity
  • identify financial pressure points
  • set clear decision triggers before conditions become more difficult
  • make timely decisions to protect land condition and farm cash flow.

The workshop focuses on practical application. You will learn what to look for, what it means and what action to take next.

Content is adapted to local conditions and farming enterprises. This makes the workshop relevant for beef, sheep and mixed farming systems across Victoria.

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

  • make farm decisions earlier and with greater confidence
  • improve the timing and quality of key business and farm management decisions
  • respond more effectively to dry conditions
  • use practical tools and approaches on your farm straight away.

This workshop is delivered by RCS on behalf of Agriculture Victoria as part of the Victorian Government's statewide Drought Support Package.
