Putting common cropping decision ‘rules’ to the test: bringing together intuition and analysis

Cropping programs are getting bigger, and logistics and timeliness are increasingly important drivers of farm decision making and risks. At the same time there are more and more opportunities supported by data and analysis.

CSIRO’s Rick Llewellyn and Brendan Brown from the GRDC RiskWi$e initiative talk through the latest findings on the range of common approaches to on-farm decision making and the achievable steps to getting decisions more right more often.

Using examples of common decision types from agronomic to enterprise scale a series of RiskWi$e steps are applied, beginning with consideration of what ‘rules of thumb’ growers see as most in need of challenge, and possibly recalibration, in modern cropping systems.
