With close knowledge of farms and farming systems, RMCG assess and quantify potential loss to agricultural production for a number of different reasons, including: renewable energy impact assessments, bushfire and flooding impacts, disputes, revocation of permitted land uses, and compulsory land acquisition.
RMCG utilises its own experience with individual farm clients, industry information, and economic reasoning to provide a sound assessment of any potential agricultural loss impacts. We provide objective, well-reasoned, and technically sound reports and expert testimonies.
RMCG conducts assessments for legal, insurance, or planning purposes. Our assessments include but are not limited to a comprehensive assessment of existing conditions, economic loss, regional and state impact, policy guideline assessment, and mitigation guidance.
