Agriculture Victoria is hosting a Smart Farming webinar next week so mixed farmers can hear about old and new tricks to manage risks.
The webinar is to be held on Monday, 29 June.
Land Management Extension Officer at Agriculture Victoria, Martin Hamilton said risk management boiled down to farmers having the right “tricks” on hand to make critical decisions.
“Whether it’s fire, flood, drought or unseasonal conditions, the webinar will help mixed farmers improve their ability to identify, understand and manage risks,” Mr Hamilton said.
“Presenter, Dr Kate Burke will discuss strategies farmers can use to help them focus their decision-making and how they can go about assessing risk in terms of ‘actual versus perceived’, likelihood and consequence,” he said.
“Dr Burke will also provide effective strategies to manage risk, including what high-performing farmers and business managers do well.”
Mr Hamilton said Dr Burke was a highly experienced independent farm consultant with extensive experience in agronomy.
“Dr Burke has 30 years of experience in agriculture working with farmers, students, investors and regional communities in north west and northern Victoria,” he said
“As we’ll show in the webinar, seeing how others have handled risk well is a practical way of developing your own skills.”
He said the session would be recorded and made available to those who registered their interest.
Further information on the webinar and how to register can be accessed on the Zoom website at this PS News link.
