Farm Owners Academy
The Farm Owners Academy is for farmers that want to work smarter and not harder. Started by Andrew Roberts who hails from Uralla in the New England region of NSW. He had always thought that if you’re to get ahead you need to be working ON the business and not always IN the business. If we work all of our lives busting our arse to get to the end and realise that we haven’t set out a clear plan or an end/exit goal for when the day of retirement or slowing down begins.
They also run the Profitable Farmer Podcast and are a solid listen to finding a way to make a profitable farm enterprise for you and your family. With 135,000 families working in agriculture, it’s a great way to get ahead and start working smarter.

Young Farmers Business Programme
The Young Farmers Business Program is designed for those working within farming and fishing businesses between the ages of 18 to 35 years old. Focusing on NSW as it is led by the DPI of NSW.
If you have a conference near you we highly recommend visiting it and taking part. As good as the show is the networking benefits are even better.. As young farmers we can become isolated in our place of work and connecting with others around the same age allows you to make new mates and also see what others are doing. They also run workshops that are hands-on to get bank savy, bank-ready, and looking at becoming profitable.
