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. Up to 12 farm businesses can attend (multiple people from the same business welcome\, please indicate who will be attending on the registration form). First in best dressed\, and please let me know if you have registered but are unable to make it\, so we can offer your spot to the waiting list. \nRDA Eyre Peninsula is also pleased to support these workshops through the Small Business Fundamentals Program’s drought support activities. The program is an initiative of the Government of South Australia’s Office for Small and Family Business and the South Australian Small Business Strategy 2023 – 2030.
