The continued promotion of the decision support tool among irrigators will enhance productivity and economic sustainability of irrigated farming businesses. To use Rice$cenario, go to ricescenario.sunrice.com.au Future work Rice Extension has commissioned a computer programmer to enhance Rice$cenario by adding the ability for variable costs and income to be transferred to a monthly cash flow budget. To complete the monthly cash flow budget, fixed and capital expenses will be required. This addition will be huge time saver for growers, as it will show cash flow implications of the scenario that they are testing. The monthly cash flow would be in a format that is ‘bank ready’ and another tool to assist with business management.
