20.01.2022 "We're operating in a business landscape we've never experienced before - high commodity prices, record land values, low interest rates and a changing banking sector. Therefore we need a new framework around the decision making process for farm expansion, asset investment and managing debt. "John Francis and the Holmes Sackett team have created a workshop which gives you the skills to apply thorough due diligence to the land acquisition process, removing the guess work or jus...t simply going on gut feel. "The Farm Expansion Workshop showed us exactly what we need to do to secure the right type of finance and to ensure we become a preferred customer for bankers. It also showed us if you are already thoroughly analysing your business, you understand your cost of production and participate in industry benchmarking, applying for finance should be relatively pain free. "Every year we undertake skills based training to strengthen our farm business and the Farm Expansion Workshop is a simple, easy to understand workshop which helps you keep the pencil sharp. It doesn't involve a large commitment of time, yet it is packed with information and handy take home resources. "Even if you don't consider farm expansion is on your radar, I'd still recommend this workshop just for tips on dealing with banks, managing debt and to understand the new business climate in which we are operating."

17.01.2022 Holmes Sackett and MLA Meat & Livestock Australia have partnered to offer goat producers the opportunity to get their businesses fully benchmarked against other goat businesses. Why should you get involved? Benchmarking is an effective way for producers to gain an understanding of what drives profit, and develop future strategies to increase success and reduce exposure to risks. ... You will receive a comprehensive report analysing your farm production data to industry averages and the top 20%, but also you will contribute to important industry research. This type of report is also beneficial for financial negotiations. Your data will remain confidential within the data pool and be submitted to MLA to assess where the most profitable areas of production are for the goat levy dollars to be invested into so that your contribution is worth something. Goat producers now have the ability to work with MLA to transform the future of their industry. Call Lexi on 0490 767 106 to get involved on or go to https://www.holmessackett.com.au/goat-benchmarking

05.01.2022 Wagga Wagga consultancy Holmes Sackett run courses across Australia about leasing farms, director John Francis said leasing provided entrants to agriculture with a low-cost alternative to purchasing. Given the value of land is high, anything that gives them (producers) a chance to get in is worthwhile. The downside for lessees is they miss out on capital growth, and shoulder all the volatility of seasons and fluctuations in commodity prices."

03.01.2022 I AM SO pleased we have had the opportunity to attend this course.
