GGA has partnered with Planfarm to provide network group staff with exclusive access to Planfarm Academy short courses at a 50% discounted rate.
As a respected and well-established learning platform, the Planfarm Academy is highly regarded across the WA agriculture sector for delivering practical, accessible training.
These short courses cater to a wide range of experience levels, including those with no formal agricultural or science background. Each course is designed to build foundational knowledge and confidence across key areas of modern farming and agronomy.
Business of Farming – Short Course
This course is designed for farmers at any age or stage of their career, offering practical and accessible learning that benefits both new entrants and experienced producers. Although originally developed with young to mid‑career farmers in mind, participants across the industry consistently find the content valuable.

Family participation is strongly encouraged. Many past graduates have completed the program as couples or family groups, recognising the value of aligning goals and decision‑making within the business. Working through the course together helps ensure everyone is moving in the same direction, supporting stronger communication, planning and long‑term success.
