That's the message farmers will hear from HSBC Bank's Regional Agriculture Manager, Steve Harris, when he speaks at a seminar at Farm iT 2003 on 19/20 November.
With a 33% increase in the numbers of farmers having access to the internet over the last two years, the benefits of banking on-line are now available to many more farming businesses.
"This high level of internet use puts farmers well ahead of other businesses and currently about 50% of farmers using the internet have access to their bank account," says Steve.
"The immediacy of internet banking means farm businesses can manage their cash flows and maximise interest payments by being more in control of moving money between current and higher interest accounts."
The event's seminar programme, which runs on both days, sees leading industry experts covering the varied uses of information technology on farms and the benefits it can bring.
Producers looking to track how their business performance changes from year to year and how it compares against others, can pick up some advice from LEAF's Caroline Drummond as she outlines a management tool developed by
farmers for farmers - the new LEAF Audit.
"There are so many demands facing farmers that addressing them as a 'whole farm package' is logical, progressive and just good common sense," she says. "It not only benefits the business but meets the requirements of the regulators as well."
Farm-iT 2003, two-days dedicated to information technology on the farm from basic administration packages to state-of-the-art systems for both arable and livestock farmers, will run on 19/20 November at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire.
Taking place at the same time is Grain 2003, an event focussed on post-harvest technology which offers arable farmers the only opportunity within Europe to see all the main players with their equipment on show.
Both events are organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of England in association with Farmers Weekly.
