IMAG has considerable experience in developing business plans for farms throughout the central west of New South Wales. This has traditionally focussed on profitability and sustainability of the farming enterprise but is now being extended to develop Farm Management Plans (FMP's) as described by the Central West Catchment Management Authority (CWCMA). Because IMAG consultants are trained in-field agronomists, they have an intimate understanding of how your natural resource management will impact on your overall farm management. This is critical to ensuring long term sustainability AND profitability.
