Navigating drought and seasonal uncertainty is one of farming’s toughest challenges. At WLW Group, we understand the pressures primary producers face, reduced feed availability, rising costs, water security risks, and uncertain cash flow. That’s why we offer a comprehensive Farm Business Resilience Plan designed specifically to help farming businesses prepare for, manage, and recover from drought conditions.
What is a Farm Business Resilience Plan?
Our Farm Business Resilience Plan supports your application for the New South Wales Rural Assistance Authority’s Drought Ready and Resilient Fund Loan program. It provides a clear, practical roadmap tailored to your business needs, outlining:
The current structure and operations of your farm.
How drought and seasonal conditions impact your enterprise.
Strategies to build resilience, protect productivity, and safeguard animal welfare.
Specific activities and improvements your funding application will support.
A detailed financial review demonstrating your long-term viability and capacity to repay the loan.
Why Do You Need a Resilience Plan?
Drought creates complex challenges:
Reduced pasture growth and feed supply.
Increased dependence on purchased fodder.
Water security pressures.
Production declines and financial stress.
Our plan, backed by expert advice and evidence, helps you move from a reactive approach to a proactive, resilient model, protecting your core assets and strengthening your business against future shocks.
What Does the Plan Include?
A few highlights from what the plan covers:
Water Security Upgrades: Improving storage capacity, pipeline infrastructure, and trough systems.
Feed Management: Building feed storage and containment feeding capabilities to reduce emergency fodder purchases.
Operational Enhancements: Fence improvements, paddock management, and livestock handling facilities.
Financial Strategy: Budgeting, scenario planning, and cash flow management to maintain solvency and support loan repayment.
The plan aligns your operational improvements with clear, measurable resilience outcomes, helping you better manage drought and seasonal volatility now and into the future.
We don’t just provide a plan, we work closely with you to prepare your funding application, ensure eligibility, and present your business in the best possible light to lenders and government authorities.
If your farming business operates in New South Wales and you’re navigating drought pressures, securing a Farm Business Resilience Plan can be a game changer.
