As the growing season winds down, the feed you have is likely what you'll be working with for a while. But are you just going to open the gate and hope for the best? Katlin and Raymond challenge producers to think beyond the feed budget and embrace grazing planning. What's the best feed for your weaners? Where should your mature cows graze to improve the land? This post delves into the strategic decisions that can make all the difference to your productivity and pasture health this winter.
Old friends, deep talks. That's what happened on the Warble podcast with Gina and Tony "Chongy" Howard. Our shared history, especially teaching at an Indigenous Grazing for Profit® School in Kunanara, 2024, made for an incredible conversation. Watching Gina and Tony connect with the students was truly inspiring. RCS' Nic Kentish was just happy to witness their magic.
David McLean and Matt Barton from RCS discuss the importance of financial literacy for agribusinesses, particularly in managing market variability. They emphasise the need to differentiate between gross margins and profitability, focusing on analysing overheads and enterprise comparisons. They highlight the value of regular management accounting and the control it provides, advocating for their Business Fundamentals workshops, available both online and in-person, to help business owners gain financial control and make informed decisions, ultimately reducing stress and improving profitability.
Join David McLean and Matt Barton from RCS as they discuss the critical link between grass management and profitability for graziers. Straight from Matt's "territory" in Dubbo, they share insights from the recent Executive Link meeting, where feed inventory was a hot topic!
We've all been there: waiting for the next rain, hoping for a market upturn. But successful farming isn't about waiting; it's about acting. It's about taking control of the variables you can manage—your grass, your finances, and your livestock—and positioning your business for resilience, regardless of what the season throws your way.
