Grains profit regional workshops

Wimmera-mallee growers will gain an insight at a series of regional workshops into what makes the top performing grain-growing businesses in southern Australia successful.

Grains Research and Development Corporation research investment has revealed the top 20 percent of grain businesses are retaining 30 percent of turnover as net profit, while the average business is retaining closer to 10 percent.

A series of GRDC ‘Opportunity for Profit’ workshops – at Kaniva today, in Horsham tomorrow and Swan Hill on Friday – will offer some answers to help growers better understand the profit drivers in their own businesses.

The half-day workshops will delve into the results from a GRDC three-year national project called ‘the integration of profit drivers and technical information for more informed decisions’.
