Machinery Investment – Riskwi$e Workshop

Farm machinery purchase can put pressure on the whole business. Facilitated by Rob Sands (Aglytica), this hands-on workshop will give you the skills to weigh up the pros and cons of purchasing machinery and ultimately, justify the decision based on sound agronomic and economic considerations.  

By the end of the workshop you will: 

• Understand the steps required to justify a purchase
• Understand the considerations and risks of machinery purchases  
• Understand the hidden costs of sowing and harvest including the potential damage to crops at harvest, sowing efficiency and the effects of weather  

Morning tea and lunch will be provided. 

All members of the business are encouraged to attend

RiskWi$e is a 5-year, $30 million national initiative (2023–2028) aimed at helping Australian grain growers navigate increasing levels of risk from weather variability and price volatility. By improving understanding of the risk-reward relationships in on-farm management decisions, RiskWi$e supports growers in making informed, confident choices that maximise rewards and minimise potential losses.

Join us at this RiskWi$e Workshop to learn how to:

• Maximise rewards and minimise losses by understanding the risks behind key decisions on your farm.
• Make confident choices about farm business management and succession planning with insights tailored to real-world conditions.
• Turn uncertainty into opportunity by balancing the upside potential with the downside risks of every decision.

RiskWi$e is conducted in partnership with grower groups, 6 action research group leads, research/extension partners, CSIRO and the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC). BCG is leading RiskWi$e work on the ‘Decision Making & Machinery Investment Workshop. Find out more at www.bcg.org.au.
