URGENT UPDATE: Dairy Australia has just announced two essential workshops aimed at empowering Murray dairy farmers for the upcoming 2026 season. Scheduled for January 23 in Tallangatta and January 30 in Numurkah, these sessions are designed to enhance farm resilience through strategic planning, decision-making, and practical tools.
Led by renowned farm business consultant Tom Farran, the workshops will introduce participants to the Farm Environmental Tracker, a vital resource for assessing current management practices. Farmers will learn how to identify areas for improvement across critical aspects of their operations, including soil health, irrigation efficiency, energy use, and animal welfare.
This hands-on experience will not only provide farmers with personalized action plans but also facilitate valuable networking opportunities. Attendees will have the chance to exchange strategies and insights with peers, fostering a community focused on sustainable farming practices.
A recent participant highlighted the impact of similar workshops, stating,
“This workshop helped us think more sustainably about our business. The tool highlighted areas to focus on, and we now have a clearer plan to improve soil health, irrigation efficiency, energy use, and animal welfare. It really gave us food for thought.”
