Product descriptions
Structure, format and craft. We write for swimmers, skimmers and divers so you don’t get caught with an abandoned cart.
No one is left high and dry.
The RFCS is here to offer a free (and confidential) helping hand to anyone working on the land or sea. Whether you’re in agriculture, forestry or fishing, tough conditions can leave even the most seasoned of us feeling exasperated and facing financial exhaustion. And while working in rural and remote areas creates isolation, help is never far away. Our dedicated, experienced team provides business advice, financial guidance and referrals to 750 farmers across more than 217,000 square kilometres each year. Rain, hail, or shine.
Locals giving locals a leg up.
We know the lay of the land because we live and work in communities just like yours. We speak your language because we’re local. In fact, chances are we’re only a few clicks away. We’re here to give locals a leg up with the full knowledge of the unique challenges in your area. And we can help you embrace change with information on tech advancements so you can be proactive, not reactive. It’s all about building resilience through stronger farm business practices that see you working smarter, not harder.
Sound advice. Straight from the horse’s mouth.
Farming is rooted in sound, educated decision-making. Discussing the future of your business demands expert advice, not just hearsay. Our team members have strong agricultural backgrounds and vast experience in commercial-farming-related industries such as business, banking and commodities. That means they’re well placed to give you an educated steer on how best to approach situations and institutions. They’ll help you ask the right questions, so you can take action from an informed position. With our experience and expertise, you’ll have the confidence and knowledge to reign your business back in hand.
Privacy guaranteed. (You can bet the farm on it).
Good news travels fast. And not-so-good news travels even faster – especially in rural areas. We know you don’t want to air your laundry for all to see. That’s why you can feel confident that your personal information will stay just that – all our team members have signed a confidentiality contract that lasts for their employment and in perpetuity. We guarantee your privacy. So you can take comfort in knowing anything discussed is between us. And it’ll stay that way.
20 years. 8,000 farmers helped. (Let’s make that 8,001).
In the current climate, farming continues to be a rough road for many, so we focus on helping you move forward. Over two decades, we’ve helped over 8,000 farmers. Now 25-strong, our passionate team can help you understand your financial position, improve your financial viability through self-sufficiency, meet the requirements of government assistance, or how your skills can help you transition from farming. It’s comforting to know you don’t have to go it alone, and that your situation isn’t unique. Let us extend a hand to do the same for you.
When the going gets tough, the tough get talking.
Farmers tend to be men and women of few words. Yet when the pressure of this challenging industry mounts, the best thing to do is get it off your chest. It helps to tell someone what’s really going on. That’s why we make it easier to talk up when times get tough. When you speak with one of our trained professionals, they’ll listen without judgment. And if you or a family member needs extra help, we can help out by putting you in touch with the right person to chat to. We’re here to provide financial counselling to see things through, and onto greener pastures. Help is just a friendly phone call away.
