The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) have released their 2008 Guide for Low-Risk Farming. 

It is designed to help advisors assist clients through a decision making process that will lead to the best possible outcomes for this season.  The guide presents valuable management information based on science and field experience. 

It allows the user to identify and work through relevant issues that begin well before, and extend well beyond what happens in the paddock. 

It explores business planning, lifestyle issues, how to gain maximum benefit from limited resources, storing summer moisture, pre and post sowing agronomy, grain and livestock management and marketing.

The guide can be downloaded from www.grdc.com.au/lowriskfarming.
