This is not a 'how to' day, it's about 'why' and 'if it works for you' to maximise opportunities and be ready for when the drought breaks.
There will be discussions, questions and time to explore budgets.
Case study sheep breeders Norm and Pip Smith from Glenwood Merinos, Wellington, Rowan Medway, Director and operations manager Agscope Farm Management based in Crookwell and local mentors will share their stories.
Ted O'Kane NSW DPI Rural Resilience will look at what drives us to make decisions.
