Having successfully supported dairy farmers across the state for the past several years, it will continue this commitment until 30 June 2025. There are a total of 50 one-on-one consultation sessions available from 1 September 2024 – 30 June 2025, covering a number of topical areas for personalised advice on critical areas of farm business management:

• Analysis of profitability and productivity Drivers

The program also has a total of four group activities available to be run (either in-person or online) on topics that are of interest to a broader group of farmers by region or across the state. The program will continue to run until 30 June 2025.
