  • Enterprise analysis: analysing and comparing the profitability of the various farm enterprises.
  • Conducting audits: audit farm performance against industry standards.
  • Preparing reports: mid-year, end-of-season and as required.
  • Benchmarking: a personalised assessment of where you are benchmarked in your region.
  • Lease and purchase recommendations: a thorough analysis of lease and purchase options as they arise.

Farm Advisory Board

Additional to the many consulting platforms that we can offer your business, we are also able to help create, and even sit on or chair, your very own Farm Advisory Board.

In larger farm organisations, and particularly those with multiple ‘partners’, the establishment of an advisory board is proving to be an extremely beneficial step for both the business/the family(s) in terms of fostering effective communication plus bringing rigour and professionalism to the business.

We’ve been with Planfarm for 20 plus years and in that time, aside of agronomy, they’ve guided and analysed every critical decision made in the business. Their influence with business planning and financial and management controls have seen the business grow to almost 4 times in area and over 8 times growth in equity. Planfarm also help with off-farm investment and succession planning.
