𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡:
➽ Understand farming as industry on high level and what are the key metrics
➽ Read a farm balance sheet and calculate the equity ratio that shows how much room an operator has to survive a bad year
➽ Calculate gross margin per hectare from income and variable costs, and explain why it is not profit
➽ Build cost of production per tonne from ABARES data and use it as a break-even price line.
➽ Explain how farm business profit differs from farm cash income by accounting for depreciation and unpaid family labour.
➽ Compare two farms on the ABARES portal and identify why the same season and commodity produce opposite financial outcomes.
➽ Interpret the farmers' terms of trade index as a read on margin pressure in the sector
