Key takeaways
Last month in July, a sold-out Intermediate Excel for Grazing Enterprises workshop was held in Theodore, equipping local graziers with essential skills to better manage their herds and support their decision-making processes.
This one-day workshop, organized in partnership with the TNQ Drought Hub, Dawson Catchment Coordinating Association, and Fitzroy Basin Association, highlighted the critical importance of upskilling in regional areas.
Participants delved into real-life scenarios, learning straightforward tools and shortcuts for working with data, running analyses, and translating this knowledge into actionable decisions in the paddock.
Vicki Horstman, Drought Resilience Coordinator at Fitzroy Basin Association, emphasised the growing pressure on the agricultural industry to accurately record and analyse on farm activities to ensure regulations are being met and show future financial projections.
The positive reception of the workshop underscored the importance of such initiatives. By equipping graziers with these skills, they are better positioned to make informed, data-driven decisions which will not only enhance their operations but also strengthen their community’s ability to prepare for and manage drought conditions.
