Farmers Day out

To support our local agribusinesses,  Hepburn Council is covering the costs for a limited number of tickets for local farmers, producers and growers.

If you would like to take up this opportunity, please email business@hepburn.vic.gov.au and provide your name, business name, email, location of business including postcode and the number of tickets requested (maximum two per business).

The inaugural Farmer’s Day Out has been created to deliver specialised development to the farmers of the Central Highlands and will be facilitated by Commerce Ballarat. Differing from field days, the event will provide farmers with a stacked line-up of tools to amplify and strengthen their business model.

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, extensive networking, expert panels, and breakout workshops that dive into:

• Agri-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
