@ferg_nextgen_agri of The Head Shepherd podcast @nextgenagri talks with John Francis, director of @agrista.au about benchmarking, understanding optimum stocking rates, maximising pasture utilisation, feed efficiency, and when John last changed his mind. 😳

Key points:

🔹Maximise pasture use and adjust stocking rates seasonally to boost profitability.
🔹Measure to manage.
🔹Profit varies by livestock system, so choose one that suits your resources.
🔹Benchmarking offers insights but avoid relying solely on past data.
🔹Stay flexible and adaptable to respond to market shifts effectively.

The pathway for growth can be complex.

Capital constraints, seasonal and market volatility and existing farm business performance are all factors that inﬂuence the ﬁnancial outcome. Purchasing land or intensifying are options for growth but knowing the best option is the challenge, and it takes time to work it out.

We have created a simple 2 step process to make farm investment easy to quantify so you can get back to farming.
