What is benchmarking?
Aggregate Consulting farm benchmarking analyses the base productivity of each individual farm enterprise as well as the business on a whole. Individual farm benchmarking results and their financial consequences are compared to the results of other farms ranked into average and top 20%.
There are three ways to benchmark your farm business:
Standard farm benchmarking - analyse your past business performance
Budget farm benchmarking - analyse your potential future business performance
Farm group benchmarking - joining (or starting) a group is a great way to improve the relevance of benchmarks
Benchmarking can be completed on a:
Calendar year (January to December)
Production year (April to March)
Financial year (July to June)
To understand and discuss what is required to complete the benchmarking process please contact the Aggregate office on 02 6925 1758 or email maree@aggregateag.com.au.
Additional time will be necessary for first-time benchmarkers as the processes and requirements may be unfamiliar.
As a participant you will receive:
Farm business management report - compare whole farm and individual enterprise performance to the standard benchmarks.
Access to an interpretation service - engage Aggregate Consulting agricultural consultants to help interpret results and develop strategies to improve profitability.
Aggregate Consulting understands that the information provided is commercially sensitive and has developed a protocol to prevent identification of individual farm businesses.
