Join us for an afternoon of topics both educational and discussion group-style; there’s lunch, a few laughs and we’ll end the afternoon with a few drinks and nibbles and a Q+A with our team. It’s your chance to ask those curly questions you’ve been thinking about.

Farming is changing and evolving at a pace we haven’t seen before. Our dedicated rural consultants and agri-business accountants are trained in driving profit on farm and growing success through alternative measures. They are up to date with risk management and diversification opportunities to protect your biggest assets.

You will come away from this event inspired to review your farming practices, grow your profits and be in the best position possible should you need bank funding for any of those ideas. We won’t be talking boring tax topics; this is all about making your farming businesses more resilient, more adaptable, and more profitable.

Gumboot parking at the door (wear ya good socks!)

Note: Proceeds will go to Farm Strong to support the work they do.
