Arable Business Groups

Arable Business Groups (ABGs) provide facilitated discussions to help groups of farmers improve their business management skills.

ABGs aim to:

• Understand costs of production*
• Investigate pricing strategies
• Share information
• Identify best practice
• Focus on issues that affect members’ businesses
• Make efficient use of industry experts

ABGs are part of our Cereals & Oilseeds Farm Excellence activities.

*Understanding cost of production is the initial focus of any group meeting. Members of an ABG have access to Farmbench, our web-based benchmarking tool. Farmbench allows you to make confidential cost comparisons with group, regional and national data.
