2020 Dairy Costings
A new software product to help dairy farmers innovate and adapt to life after milk quotas
The environment for dairy farming in Europe is changing with prices and profits becoming increasingly volatile. Today’s dairy farmer must have up-to-date information on his/her business. They also require some help and advice in interpreting this information to their best advantage.
We offer dairy farmers a simple easy-to-fill-in monthly service to allow them to benchmark their business against their peers, and point out to them their strengths and weaknesses.
An online software application for dairy farmers with the following features:
- Milk yield per cow
- Milk from forage per cow
- Milk solids per cow and per hectare
- Rolling average milk prices
- Rolling average milk qualities
- Herd mortality rates
- Herd culling rates
- Herd replacement rates and costs
- League tables across all of our client base in various regions
- Automatic conversion of sterling and euro to allow cross comparisons
- Margins per cow and per hectare
- A more sophisticated level allows benchmarking of forage costs.
- Where farmers are members of a discussion group, access to all of the performance figures of members within that group, where that information is shared.
Our aim is to provide the fullest information possible with the minimum input.
