I have, over the last few months, attended various discussion group meetings on my learning curve with Midwest Consulting.  I am always inspired by the way a group can help individual farms improve what they do.  The huge advantage of belonging to a group is the shared knowledge and experience that you are buying into.

I have seen many simple ideas and practical experiences shared that are helping farmers improve their farms.  It is not all facts and figures and it’s surprising how much you learn, share and make new friends that will benefit you and your family.

Do you know how your farm is doing against others?  Are there ideas that you have not thought of?  Is there a better way to do something?  Do you know how to makes things easier to achieve?  Do you need to discuss what you are doing with farmers that are keen to share their knowledge?  Could you help other farmers by sharing your own experiences?

The answers are all probably ‘yes’, so if you don’t belong to a group and feel it would benefit you please give us a call. Between the FCG offices, we run discussion groups for dairy, sheep, arable and beef farmers.

For more information about joining a discussion group, please contact your local FCG office.
