Working hard in Proserpine


Next on the list was Proserpine. They had been cut off a couple of days before but we were lucky enough to get through.
We did the morning session in Proserpine then went to Ayr.
The concerns and questions areslightly different in each region.
The weather patterns are different and that changes things.
Even though succession is really important, right now many farmers are also dealing with more immediate issues. What is going on with the local mills? How are we going to get our crops harvested?
My advice is always to focus on what you can control and do your best to get that sorted. You can’t control the weather. You can’t control government regulation.What you can control is the fact that you can insure against income/ partner lose and methods of evaluation.
We are trying to give farmers the control back that they feel like they are losing by helping them develop a strategic financial plan that will help carry them through.
