Advisors work with key members of the farm team over the kitchen table to support financial and physical analysis of their operation.
One-on-one sessions with experienced dairy advisors are being offered free to dairy farmers as part of Dairy Australia’s Tactics for Tight Times campaign.
Taking Stock is available at no cost to all dairy farmers in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and NSW. It is delivered as part of Dairy Australia’s Tactics for Tight Times campaign and is proudly supported by the Gardiner Foundation, the Australian Government, the South Australian Government, the Tasmanian Government and major dairy processors.
Taking Stock sessions are confidential and delivered by trained industry advisors to help farm families work through key management decisions and identify support available to manage their businesses through challenging times.
Advisors work with key members of the farm team over the kitchen table to support financial and physical analysis of their operation and facilitate discussions regarding the current business position, future options and an action plan for the business.
Dairy Australia’s Group Manager Farm Profit and Capability, Chris Murphy, said the offer of free one-on-one assistance through the Taking Stock program was in response to farmer requests.
“The strength of Taking Stock is that it is based on a one-to-one conversation with a trusted, skilled advisor. It gives the opportunity to take time out from the business for three or four hours and have a meaningful discussion about the current situation and plans for the future,” Mr Murphy said.
Taking Stock is a proven process that has made a real difference to the thousands of farm families that have used this service since its launch in 2004.
