Future planning workshop for farmers

A free financial planning workshop for Northland farmers that was postponed in February due to Covid lockdown levels has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 8.

Your Farm Business Future, organised by the Dairy Women’s Network, will take place at Farm Source at 18 Kioreroa Road, Whangarei from 10am to 1pm, followed by a light lunch.

Leading the event will be award-winning dairy farmer and chartered accountant Charmaine O’Shea and specialists from ASB Bank, who will provide guidance on succession planning and preparing the next generation for farming and farm ownership.

Dairy Women’s Network Northland hub leader Sue Skelton says that by the time the workshop is over, attendees will have the knowledge and tools to get their farming and financial houses in order.

Succession options and common challenges will be tackled, as well as the strategic planning and range of topics needed when going through the process.
