“Can’t say enough good things about RCS! Knowledge of presenters was fantastic. It’s a course I believe every grazier should do. Follow up and information attendees can access is great!” – Walt
“A grazing or Farming for Profit course has the highest return on any education $ you will ever spend. RCS provides across the board education tools and backup that, without doubt helps agricultural businesses to become more profitable, sustainable and better prepared to bounce back after droughts, downturns and floods.” – Brian
“Best well-rounded course. Honestly the best well-rounded course I have ever taken. I loved how immersive it was to make us really zone in on our businesses. It made me look at our numbers with different eyes and consider all aspects of our grazing business, not just tax and cashflow. It gave me more tools and understanding than I ever thought was possible. This gives us confidence with our decision making and future.” – Janeta

Program Size and Assumed Knowledge

Program sizes vary with the maximum number of participants capped at 48. Our friendly delivery team ensures the pace and content is adapted to suit everyone’s learning style and level. Regardless of program size, you’ll work in a group with four to five other participants.

A graduate with no farming background had this to say about the program.

“A lack of agricultural experience isn’t a problem as the program isn’t just about farming. It is holistic and also goes into personal development, finance, and team building. It helps to have an interest in agriculture; however, the training is delivered within groups so the other members of your group can help you understand the finer points of agriculture. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t nervous before the program but that dissipated on day 1!”

Is the Content Applicable to all Conditions

Absolutely. We’ve been working with agricultural businesses of all sizes and types on four continents for over 30 years and have most likely encountered every exception to the rule. We have yet to find one that could not benefit from these principles and methods. Occasionally processes need to be adapted to accommodate unique situations and our instructors will work with you to help you apply the principles and processes to your situation.
