The Farm Optimiser is our most advanced decision tool aimed at helping you understand your farm system and make informed decisions. For example, if you were thinking about including some Lucerne in your rotation on a waterlogged paddock, you could switch the Lucerne land use on and adjust the inputs to examine under what circumstances it is profitable and what management changes may maximise returns.

The tool includes built-in analyses from past R&D projects that you can run with your own farm data, giving you tailored economic and management insights on key farm questions.

This is the most detailed farm planning tool available. Under the hood, Farm Optimiser is a whole-farm bio-economic optimisation model encompassing soils, rotations, crops, pastures, livestock, stubbles, supplementary feeding, machinery, labour and finance. It is underpinned by decades of scientific work and has been widely applied and validated in the research sector (e.g., Young et al., 2022; Young et al., 2023).
