Checked crops again, had a little panic about frost Bought a bit of machinery ‘cause it might be a big year Filled in a few potholes so the truck won’t get bogged Organised a few nights away For peak performance we need to be well rested and recharge our bodies, mind and relationships. Need a little note about this to be emailed to your someone special??? Message me below

24.01.2022 An interesting webinar TONIGHT!

23.01.2022 Just a reminder that the applications for the RIC low interest loans need to be in by the end of September if you want to be eligible for the two year interest free period. Haidee Laycock is a former Rural Financial Counsellor and all round whizz in these sorts of things. She has started up her own business and is available to assist in application completion. It's a task well worth outsourcing to an expert. https://vercockagbizsolutions.com/

22.01.2022 Have you subscribed to AuctionsPlus newsletter? It's called The Box: https://bit.ly/3fafuhf. Short, sharp and interesting (like my kids!)

22.01.2022 Here we show you how to build a quick little template to calculate grain tonnages and grain income. Adjust it as markets and yields firm up, without having to find a new pen, or another old envelope. Subcribe at www.agrifocused.com.au for an excel spreadsheet.

18.01.2022 Crop Insurance - A year to review your strategy? It is a pretty typical practice to develop a strategy position on crop insurance. Some people fully insure all crops every year. Some people always partially insure, perhaps choosing only some paddocks or some crop types or under insuring their maximum yield or price. Some never insure, in effect self-insuring, the money saved in premiums hopefully offsetting potential crop losses in the long term. Those for whom cropping is on...ly a small part of their mixed farming business may have the option of grazing hail damaged crops and therefore offset losses to hail. All strategies have pros and cons and all can be justified due to different businesses situations and the risk tolerance of the operators. Setting a strategy makes decisions easy, however set and forget strategies don’t work when situations change. This year, it might be time for a rethink. Risk is a combination of likelihood and consequence. Likelihood of a hail event or fire might not be any different this year than any other year, however higher yields and the possibility of a wet harvest may extend harvest time and make your crop more vulnerable. The possible consequences of total or significant crop loss to hail or fire may have changed this year. Lower stocking numbers and higher in paddock feed may limit your ability to make the most of damaged crops. Is your business more vulnerable this year due to a number of difficult seasons, a recent expansion or higher debt levels? Is an ownership transition on the cards that could be put in jeopardy by a significant crop loss. This is by no means an advertisement for crop insurance but an encouragement to rethink your strategy and see if it fits this year. Shop around for insurance, prices vary significantly and loyalty and claims history make less difference than you would like to think.

14.01.2022 Using MYOB? Love it or hate it? It would be great if you could share in the comments below two things you love and one (or more things) you hate about how it works for your farm business. Over the next few weeks I will do the same for some of the other commonly used programs and pull together the information into an email that might help people that are thinking of changing programs. ... Many of us could get more out of the programs we are using and don't know how. ... perhaps someone has overcome an issue you struggle with.

14.01.2022 Last week the Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) announced there will be an additional $2billion added to their existing loans and that the AgriStarter loan ...- to assist in buying an existing farm business, undertaking succession arrangements or establishing a new farm business - will commence in 2021. Information about the starter loan available is that up to $2 million can be borrowed over 10 years with first five years’ interest-only, the variable interest rate is 1.92 per cent from 1 August 2020, and applicants must demonstrate they are in need of financial assistance and have sound prospects of long-term financial viability. You can read more about the announcement -> https://farmtable.com.au/ric-welcomes-additional-2-billion/

12.01.2022 A great video that shows the pattern of drought across NSW. Far more significant, I think, are the financial impacts. Financially droughts can impact later, especially when a business has stored fodder, secure water and a solid financial position. However the financial impact can be very long lasting, especially when livestock businesses are breeding back replacements. The map is green, the paddocks are green, the bank balance is red. Next month we will be delivering our Farm Business Bounce Back series via webinar to assist in planning and recovery. Keep in touch for more info.

09.01.2022 Looking forward to today’s webinar. Zooming into lovely Glen Innes.

08.01.2022 Let us know what you want to be included in our upcoming Excel for Farmers Online course in the comments below or send us a PM if you are feeling a bit shy.

06.01.2022 Great opportunity for those in or around Hay, thanks to Reboot Hay

04.01.2022 First day of spring is Wattle Day. A lovely reminder and a thank you to all of those careful custodians of remnant vegetation on farms and private land.

03.01.2022 Does this apply to unplanned machinery purchases? Please indicate in comments below. Asking for a friend

02.01.2022 Yacker - A great little app which is starting to gain some real momentum. Ask a question on Yacker and you can actually talk to someone about the answer, rather than just getting a short two line response. Worth a shot. https://www.yacker.com.au/ #yackerapp #createrealconnections

02.01.2022 Great news - you now only have to have two heavy vehicles to qualify for a common registration date (Common Expiry Date) with the RMS. Such as time saver and an opportunity to move a job into a better part of the year. Might get a few of the old bangers registered (or not) https://www.service.nsw.gov.au//bulk-registration-fleet-ve

01.01.2022 Just another little thing for the to do list. Just think, how many $$/hour will this job mean to your business? Might not be worth putting off the haycutting, will be worth delaying cleaning the shed or house, could be worth paying someone to do it. Know your worth.

01.01.2022 That feeling when you’re in a hurry, but you just have to sidetrack for a quick look at the crops. I hope your 2020 season is making you feel this good. Love to see your photos.
