Confused about farm regulations? The Good Farm Guide isn’t about fancy planning, it’s about the legal must-knows to keep your farm running smoothly. Even better, these regulations become a clear starting point for your farm planning. By understanding the rules upfront, you save time and avoid costly rework later!

The Good Farm Project has funded the following resources:

  • The Good Farm Guide to Navigating Regulations

These are all free to download and attend.

The Good Farm Guide to Navigating Regulations

The Good Farm Guide to Navigating Regulations covers most legislative requirements facing a farm business, including everything from freshwater to animal welfare to employment law.

Presented by Perrin Ag, these webinars aim to increase your confidence in navigating farm legislation by providing you with the information you need to know, where you can go for further information and support, and how you might assess your own on-farm compliance requirements. Information presented in the webinars draws from content developed in the Good Farm Guide to Navigating Regulations. We highly recommend you download a digital copy or get a physical copy of this resource guide to go through as you watch the webinar.

Each webinar was run live in May 2024, and recordings are available to view free via a link.
