Farm Business Distress - How Not to Slip in the Slurry

Outline:

Farm businesses have found that, contrary to perceived wisdom, they have been hit hard by the Coronavirus outbreak.

This is but one current issue facing agricultural businesses which range from structural deficiencies to businesses and markets through to Government direct support, Climate Change and the environment, and deep rooted cultural and family problems. Dealing with any farming or estate business in distress needs a diverse and sometimes disparate range of skills. To the unwary or unprepared this can mean considerable personal liability if things go wrong.

This webinar recording* will seek to give an overview of the current situation and some of the industry wide issues which must be grappled with as well as looking at challenges in some specific sectors such as dairy and horticulture.

Along the way we look at some examples of situations and consider what actions may be needed or best avoided in order to achieve the required outcomes for all concerned.
