Farm MANAGEMENT

Farm Supervision

Are you an absentee owner? Do you need more time off farm or want someone to bounce ideas off? Enjoy peace of mind and ensure your business moves forward with tailored oversight including technical advice, business and budget planning, programme implementation, and staff hiring and reviews.

Succession advice

Farm succession planning can be difficult. How do you work out farm succession between siblings? How do you evaluate a fair division for the next generation? I’ll help alleviate your anxiety with common sense suggestions you can take to the experts.

Transition advice

Ever noticed how young people in agriculture are really keen to do things differently? They’re changing the sector though innovation, big data, land regeneration, and contemporary thinking around finance and marketing. I can help facilitate and mediate discussion to help close the gap that can appear with generational transition.

Advisory support

I offer strategic advice and support to landowners seeking to transform their business or focus on one area for change. Talk to me about conducting a preliminary business health check and subsequent reporting options.

Farm assessments

Buying or selling a farm is complex. Need a third party to bounce ideas off? Before you start work with the rural real estate agent, I’ll go over a property with you and facilitate discussion around its potential with optional supply of a financial budget plan.

Staff recruitment

Fourteen years as a farm manager means I have experience hiring staff. As a livestock and stud stock consultant I’m working throughout the country. People often tell me they’re looking for good staff. Others tell me they’re looking for a new job. Use my experience and connections to help solve your next staffing issue.

Farm lease

Considering leasing? Have you thought about provisions for regional consenting, nutrient management, or farm environment plans? If you’re looking at leasing but aren’t sure what should be considered ahead of the negotiations, then I can help.
