Our Events

Test your decision-making skills in the “Ri$ky Business” game, developed by the University of WA and often described as “Monopoly for farmers”. See how different strategies impact outcomes over three simulated seasons and gain hands-on experience with farm budgets, gross margins, and balance sheets while learning how to navigate risks and adapt to market and seasonal changes.

This is also a rare opportunity to pick the brain of the author of GRDC’s nationally regarded “Farming the Business” manual, now in its 5th edition.

This event is a must for any farmer looking to sharpen their skills and future-proof their business. Please note you will need to bring along a laptop to use between team of 2 people. Laptops must have Microsoft Excel – tablets will not be suitable for this event
