Advice
programs. Good, cost-effective and
environmentally sensible weed
control is not a bingo game. Select
the least expensive herbicides that
will control your weeds and fit within
your management capabilities.
Consider soil pH, crop rotations,
insecticide interactions and time
management when evaluating weed
management options.
Re -negotiate your rental rates
with your landlords. If your
potential income is reduced by 25 per
cent, then your rental rates should be
reduced accordingly. Being creative
and a little hard nosed in developing
rental and lease agreements will
allow you and the landlord to share
the risks and profits, instead of
leaving you holding the bag.
Keep accurate and current
financial records and use them to
understand your financial position.
Know your cost of production.°
