Agriculture Victoria is delivering a new Young Farmer Business Bootcamp series designed to improve your farm business skills.
The online interactive bootcamp includes four 90-minute sessions aimed at upskilling young farmers across the state in the fundamentals of farm business.
Agriculture Victoria Young Farmer Coordinator Sarah Wallis said the workshop will focus on practical examples of farm business analysis and planning for a change where the participants are expected to take part in group discussions and exercises.
The popular course has received high satisfaction rates among past participants who say they’d recommend the bootcamp to others.
One participant said: ‘I thought the course was great! As someone who has never done any of the financial management on a farm it provided a thorough overview of all aspects of the farm business management … it allowed you to hear stories about others in different areas of Victoria with different enterprises.’
The bootcamp will be delivered online across the following dates:
- Tuesday 24 November
- Tuesday 1 December
- Tuesday 8 December
- Tuesday 15 December.
All sessions will run from 12 noon – 1.30 pm and bootcamp login details will be provided upon registration.
‘Participants can expect to improve their understanding of profit and loss and cash flow budgeting, balance sheets and gross margins, risk management, and financial planning and analysis,’ she said.
Mrs Wallis said the bootcamp will be delivered using online video conferencing software and participants will be provided with resources and templates, as well as recordings of the sessions.
The Young Farmer Business Bootcamp is being presented by Agriculture Victoria Farm Business Economist Sam Henty and is suited to those who are new to managing a farm business.
