Ag EDGE is run by farmers, for farmers.
What is Ag EDGE?
Ag EDGE is a group of progressive agricultural business people who meet quarterly, as a Board of Directors, to review performance and ensure business strategy and operations of member businesses are in line with their stated vision.
“The benefits of AgEDGE to our business are multiple. The peer review the board offers has brought a greater level of accountability to our decision making. The professional instruction from our facilitators has improved my ability to understand the true financial position of our business, and the injection of innovative ideas from other Edge members have all combined to improve our bottom line”
Ag EDGE was conceived in 1990 when a firm of agricultural consultants and accountants guided a group of their NSW farming clients through a week long whole farm/business management school.
Ag EDGE (Formally Edge Management Pty Ltd) was formed in November 2009 when the participants agreed to form a private company to own the Intellectual Property and run the Ag EDGE Board meetings.
The company was established as a not for profit organisation which aimed to provide services with minimal membership fees. While the average membership term has been 6.5 years, total membership has varied without significant growth in membership over the past decade.
