MAP TO MANAGEplans your property to create the foundation for CTF FOR SUCCESSAt the end of this program you will have an accurate property map on a recent aerial or satellite image background at a range of useful scales, a 5 year property plan, and analysis of the resource opportunities and constraints for your farm business. This can also meet the increasing government mapping requirements for land, vegetation and water managment.MAP TO MANAGEestablishes our shared understanding and partnership. |

2. CTF FOR SUCCESSis the engine room of CTF adoption. It has been developed from the experience of many CTF growers over the last 10 years. CTF FOR SUCCESSstarts with an 11 point audit of your farm to establish “where are we now” and “where you want to be”. Typically, this covers machinery, guidance systems, property layouts, resource management, production, financial, environmental, marketing, performance measurement and record keeping, human resource, lifestyle, experimentation and technology issues. Within a year your CTF system can be up and running, and providing you with many benefits. |

3. INFORMATION RICH AGRICULTUREis the next step to upgrade your CTF SYSTEMUnderstanding and managing variability across your farm will define management options to value add to the benefits CTF gives you. This program utilises high resolution satellite imagery, GPS and GIS technology, yield mapping, and other intensive spatial measurements. To date, we have collected and processed over 850,000ha of high resolution satellite imagery, 44,000ha of topogrpahy mapping, and nearly 30,000ha of yield mapping, across Australia. We are continuously testing and updating our Information Rich Agriculture technology to meet the demands on today’s farming businesses. |

4. KEEP ON-TRACKis our continuous improvement program for growers to keep check of where their business, resources, production, finances and lifestyle are heading on a regular (usually 6 month) basis. Together we review the goals, assess performance against targets, set new targets and develop action plans using our 11 point audit. |
