Description:

The proposed investment is to develop a national publication containing key operational and economic information growers need to consider when introducing new, upgrading or replacing machinery and technologies in farm businesses. The manual will include information on a selection of new and existing technologies available to growers. Each section will cover the key operation information and the economics of investing in these technologies including add-ons components, on farm set-up, economic return machinery replacement and/or repair costs, ownership strategies, flexibility of highly specific machinery vs lower cost multi-functional machinery and legalities. The investment will develop a resource which growers can use as a reference to help guide their decision-making process when investing in machinery and technology. The proposal plans to build on the success of the ‘Machinery Investment and Replacement Options for Growers in the Kwinana West RCSN Port Zone’ booklet.
