How to get value from farming business contracts

agriculture legal training programs

Far too many farmers sign up to contracts without reading the terms, meaning they often get a bad deal and poor value for their farming businesses. This two-hour workshop provides a real-world guide to understanding and getting better value out of farming business contracts.

Overview

The course will start with how contracts are “born” and go on to analyse the key terms and essential components of a contract, before reviewing other terms to watch out for – risks, liabilities, and other bear-traps. Concluding with a worked, contract review exercise, the course enables you to apply the learning to real-world scenarios and you will be given a highly effective, one-page checklist to help you undertake first glance reviews of future contracts.

Complete with practical tips and techniques from an expert in agri-business supply law, this course provides an invaluable framework to help you avoid potential pitfalls and get to grips with contracts for your farming business.
