Buying land or machinery
Work out whether to buy or lease land, whether an extra block pays, whether to own or contract machinery, and what the bank will want.
Who it's for: Livestock and mixed farm families weighing up a land purchase, a lease or a big machinery buy.
Lessons
By the end you'll be able to
- Compare the yearly cost of buying and leasing land
- Test whether an extra block can pay its way
- Weigh owning a machine against using a contractor
- Understand balloons and what the bank looks for
Each lesson has a short read, a worked example on an invented farm and three quick questions. Finish them all for an optional certificate of completion. Free, no sign-up, not nationally accredited.
Want this done on your own figures?
The course explains how it works. If you'd rather have it done on your farm's real numbers, that's what our Farm Health Check is for.
