Agriculture Victoria’s Felicity Pritchard said Dr Burke’s evidence-based approach will help participants to develop a plan for their farm’s success.
“Dr Burke brings a wealth of experience in broadacre and mixed farming, crop agronomy, and farm business management,” Ms Pritchard said.
“Farmers can learn valuable strategies to manage their businesses, particularly in the current challenging conditions and into the future.
“Past participants have given excellent reviews and appreciated the time away from the farm to focus on the bigger picture.”
At the workshops Dr Burke will cover a range of topics, including:
- Managing climate variability and farm financial performance.
- Identifying opportunities for growth and mitigate risk.
- Reviewing key profit drivers and benchmarks.
- Analysing income versus cost of production.
- Evaluating your appetite for risk and production potential.
- Scenario planning for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
The two-day workshop will run from 9am to 3pm each day. Participants are asked to arrive at 8.30am.
It will be held on Tuesday, and Wednesday, July 22 and 23, at the University of Melbourne Dookie Campus on Nalinga Rd, Dookie.
The workshop is free and includes morning tea and lunch, but numbers are limited, so registration is essential.
