ONLINE WEBINAR - NSW Farm Business Resilience Program
Date: Tuesday 3 November 2026
Time: 12:00noon - 1:00pm
Location: Online.
The 2026 harvest represents the culmination of 12 months or more of hard work in a year marked by high input costs and significant seasonal and market volatility. While harvest may seem as simple as moving grain from the paddock to storage, the reality is far more complex. Successful harvests rely on careful coordination of people, machinery, logistics, communication and decision-making, all while operating in an environment of changing weather conditions and high personal and business risk.
This interactive webinar is designed to help grain-growing businesses prepare for harvest through better planning, organisation and communication. Using a practical workshop approach, participants will work through key harvest planning areas and develop their own pre-harvest checklists to help minimise risk, improve efficiency and support an incident-free harvest season.
What you'll cover:
📍Machinery readiness and maintenance planning
📍Staffing, contractors and stakeholder management
📍Risk management and contingency planning
📍Harvest logistics and workflow management
📍Grain marketing considerations
📍Effective communication across the harvest team
📍Family involvement and wellbeing during harvest
📍Grain handling and storage preparation
📍Conducting a post-harvest review for continuous improvement
A key focus of this webinar is peer-to-peer learning. Participants will have opportunities to share experiences, contribute ideas through the chat function, and engage directly with other producers during facilitated discussions and question-and-answer sessions.
Online pre-harvest planning workshop for grain growers. Build customised checklists, manage risks and improve harvest team communication.
