Farmer’s Day Out is here to unpack The Business of Farming

Farmer’s Day Out has been created to deliver specialised development to the farmers of the Central Highlands. Differing from field days, Farmer’s Day Out will provide farmers with a stacked line-up of tools to amplify and strengthen their business model on March 25, 2026 at the Ballarat Showgrounds. The day will feature stimulating and inspiring keynote speakers, such as Simon Quilty, and a panel of innovative players in the agricultural industry, plus health checks, networking, expert panels, and breakout workshops that dive into:

• Agribusiness Tourism 

• Dodging Potholes and Building Silos : Securing the Future of Your Farm

• The Business of Farming - Knowing Your Figures 

• Calm the Farm: Creating Happy Farm Workplaces

• Gen AI in Agriculture: Practical Solutions for Everyday Tasks

Key objectives of this project include:

• Mental Health, an overlooked yet critical aspect of any functional business and community

• Development, to adjust the way The Business of Farming is viewed

• Drought Recovery, to support our farmers through an especially challenging period of drought and unpredictable weather.

• Community, to bring the inhabitants of The Central Highlands together to former greater understanding and unity between all industries

• Resilience, to seek healing from harsh weather, challenging policies, and natural disasters
