Plan2Farm
Irrigation Farm Business Plan
The Irrigation Farmers Network (formerly Irrigated Cropping Council) worked with The North Central Catchment Management Authority and Murray Dairy to the deliver Plan2Farm irrigation business planning project. This program helped farmers consider their exposure to water markets and the efficiency of their irrigation system, and the influence this may have on their future farming business.
The Farm Business Plan is a key tool of the Plan2Farm program. The plan provides the opportunity for farmers to assess where their business is situated now and where you want it to be in the future. The plan will help those involved in the business make more informed decisions about your farming business to improve your business resilience.
