Special Resolutions to change the Constitution \n  \nThe following Special Resolutions will be proposed at the meeting: \n\n That clause 6.2(a)(i) of the Constitution be amended to read “At least three (3) but no more than seven (7) members appointed and approved at an annual general meeting of Members; and”\n That clause 3(b) be amended to read “To promote agriculture excellence within the region by encouraging sharing of information and resources.”\n That clause 3(d) be amended to read “To engage with existing community organisations to participate in steering the direction of future agricultural research and development in the region.”\n\nThe reason for the proposed resolution 1 is to increase the number of Board members from five (5) to seven (7) members which will bring the total Board membership to 9 (nine) members\, plus ex-officio members. This will enable the organisation to maintain the cross section of skills required to manage the business of the organisation and strategic direction of the Board. \nThe reason for the proposed resolutions 2 and 3 is to correct some typographical errors which were in the original version of the Constitution. There is no change to the substance of either of those clauses. \nPlease email Executive Officer\, Naomi Scholz eo@airep.com.au for the meeting link or to receive further information.

SUMMARY:Machinery Investment Decisions workshop: Smoky Bay (19 Jan 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Machinery investment is one of the biggest and riskiest financial decisions in a farm business. Get it right\, and machinery boosts efficiency and profitability. Get it wrong\, and it quietly erodes margins\, cash flow\, and resilience. This January\, Eyre Peninsula growers will have the opportunity to step back from day-to-day operations and take a clear\, practical look at whether their machinery investment is really working for their business.\nAIR EP is pleased to host a five-session regional workshop series focused on making better machinery investment and replacement decisions. Delivered by Peter Newman (Planfarm) and Andy Bates (Bates Ag Consulting)\, these interactive sessions will provide growers with practical tools\, benchmarks\, and confidence to assess machinery costs and make informed decisions that suit their scale and system.\nEach session runs for 3 hours (including a mid-session break) and is capped at 12 farm businesses to allow for discussion\, activities\, and peer learning.\nWhat Will Be Covered?\nParticipants will work through:\n\n\nFarm business ratios\, including machinery-to-income benchmarks\n\n\nCalculating your own average income and machinery ratio\n\n\nMachinery investment across different farm scales\n\n\nReplacement planning and schedules\n\n\nFunding options: hire purchase vs cash\n\n\nWhen (and why) it may make sense to break the rules\n\n\nThe sessions are practical\, numbers-based\, and designed to be directly applicable to individual farm businesses.\nWhy Attend?\n\n\nUnderstand whether your machinery spend matches your business performance\n\n\nGain clarity around replacement timing and funding decisions\n\n\nLearn from experienced consultants and fellow growers\n\n\nBuild confidence in machinery decisions before the next investment cycle\n\n\nFor further information\, contact Naomi Scholz\, eo@airep.com.au or 0428 540 670. \nCost:\nAttendance is free\, thanks to funding support from the GRDC RiskWi$e project.
