A new National Economics Project is underway to improve the profitability of farm businesses. A team of economists are working together to assess the financial impact of various production options for mixed farming systems in seven regions across Australia - Border Rivers (Qld/NSW), Central West/Lachlan (NSW), Murrumbidgee (NSW), Corangamite/Glenelg-Hopkins (Vic), Eyre Peninsula (SA) and the Avon and Northern Agricultural regions of WA.
