Test Farm Decisions Before You Commit with What-If Scenario Analysis
Every major farm decision involves uncertainty. Should you buy that extra land? What happens if wheat drops to $280/t? Can you afford to add 500 breeding ewes? P2PAgri lets you test these decisions before you commit, with real numbers from your own business.
How Can I Test Farm Decisions Before I Commit?
Every major farm decision carries risk — whether it's buying land, changing your rotation, adjusting livestock numbers, or planning for drought. P2PAgri's scenario analysis lets you model these decisions and see exactly how they impact your cash flow, profit, balance sheet, and key financial ratios up to 5 years into the future, before you commit a single dollar.
Create "What If" Scenarios
A scenario in P2PAgri is a complete copy of your business plan that you can change without affecting your actual data. Adjust any variable, commodity prices, yields, input costs, enterprise mix, livestock numbers, and instantly see how it flows through to your profit and loss, cash flow, balance sheet, gross margins per enterprise, and financial ratios.
Clone a Year as Your Starting Point
Don't start from scratch. Clone an actual year's data as your scenario baseline, then tweak the variables you want to test. This means your scenario is grounded in real data, not guesswork.
Compare Scenarios Side by Side
Create multiple scenarios and compare them in a side-by-side view. See which option gives you the best outcome across every financial metric: highest profit, lowest peak debt, best return on assets, and risk level. The comparison view makes it easy to present options to your family, business partners, or adviser.
5-Year Future Projections
Project your business up to five years into the future. See long-term trends in profitability, debt levels, equity growth, and cash position. Understand whether your current strategy builds wealth or erodes it over time.
Scenario Actualisation
Once you've decided on the best path forward, turn your chosen scenario into your actual plan with one click. No need to re-enter data, just lock it in and start tracking actuals against it.
Examples of Scenarios You Can Test
Price risk (what if wheat drops 20%?), production risk (what if you get a decile 2 season?), expansion (what if you lease an extra 1,000 hectares?), enterprise change (what if you replace barley with chickpeas?), capital purchase (can you afford a new header?), and debt reduction (if you sell a block, how quickly can you pay down your land loan?).
Manage Risk by Testing Your Farm Business's Worst & Best-Case Scenarios
“Using Plan to Profit, we were able to input all the variables, such as expected rainfall, grain prices and leasing costs and come up with the worst-case and best-case scenarios, and it really paid off for us.”

Understand Your Farm Business's Strengths & Weaknesses
“From P2PAgri, I've been able to get a snapshot of my business and understand my strengths and weaknesses and the areas I need to work on. The key point I love about P2PAgri that I've never seen in any other program is the ability to do forward projections and future scenario analysis. To me, that's the strength of the program that nothing else has — the ability to plug in a property or machinery purchase and in five minutes you can see what impact that has on your business over time.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
You can create as many scenarios as you need. There's no limit on the number of what-if models you can build and compare.
No. Scenarios are completely separate from your actual business data. You can experiment freely without any risk of changing your real figures.
Yes. If you've shared your business with an adviser or accountant, they can view and help build scenarios. This makes it easy to work through options together before making a decision.
The standard Future plan supports up to 5 years of forward projections. For most farm business planning purposes, this provides a solid long-term view of profitability, debt reduction, and wealth growth.
