Building Resilience & Profitability of High Rainfall Farmers locations
Aims

2021 was the final year in a three year project focused on building resilient farm businesses and strengthening farm decision making. Extensive workshops and activities were delivered to farmers (especially women and young farmers) and
the wider farming industry to build confidence and skills. The culmination of the project has resulted in a website dashboard https://myfarmdashboard.sfs.org.au/ with optional push notifications of the four key parameters (soil moisture, pasture availability, commodity prices and climate data) thus providing information that increases farmer and agronomist ability to make better on-farm management decisions.

Key messages

• The subsoil of each of the soil moisture probes was the driest it has been since the soil moisture probes were installed.
• Visit the site “My Farm Dashboard” at myfarmdashboard.sfs.org.au and acquaint yourself with the tools on offer.
