Stronger beef, lamb and wool prices are providing renewed confidence across the sheep and beef sector, but rising fuel, fertiliser and operating costs continue to challenge farming businesses.
Join us in Kurow for an evening of practical discussion focused on making smart investment decisions to position your farming business for the future.
Topics
Topics will include fertiliser investment and nutrient management, the consequences of reducing or deferring applications, maximising returns from spring cropping programmes, managing rising input costs and building resilient farming businesses.
Whether you're evaluating fertiliser spend, planning spring crops or considering where best to invest profits within your business, this event will provide practical insights and take-home messages from experienced industry professionals.
