Insights from our second Farmer Forum

A Successful Gathering for Local Farmers

Water Partners held its second Farmer Forum at its Kyabram offices on 6 March. It was great to welcome 20 people to our second Farmer Forum on August 6, where we shared how other farmers are using different trading options within their business.

Our client specialists Charlotte, Peter and Clint used case studies of Water Partners members to demonstrate how forward trading, leasing, temporary sales and carryover secure water supply, assist cash flow and reduce stress.

Picola farmer Bill Baxter, who has been a Water Partners member for 12 years, also spoke candidly about his family operation and the benefits of purchasing permanent water where possible.

Hannah Anderson from DelayPay also explained how DelayPay can assist cash flow by offering short-term credit for all farm purchases.

Water Trading Benefits

Water trading provides farmers with various options to manage their water needs effectively. It allows for flexibility during times of scarcity, ensuring that farmers can adapt to changing conditions. By understanding and leveraging these options, farmers can make informed decisions and enhance their operations.

The experience shared by the Kaths highlights the importance of collaboration within the farming community. Learning from one another can pave the way for better water management strategies.

Why Participate?

Attending forums like this can greatly benefit farmers. Networking with peers allows for the exchange of ideas and best practices. Furthermore, engaging with experts can clarify complex issues surrounding water trading. Often, hearing firsthand experiences is the most impactful.
