Farming drives you.

 

What drives you is your 20%.

Yes, you’re a SME. You’re also a farmer.

 

01 — Herd Management Systems

Efficiencies of a 2,000 cow dairy can be implemented in a 200 cow dairy. You know your cows, and you know your farm. So how do you Rise if you don’t want to ‘get bigger’? Yes, we’re saying it again: it’s in the data that informs your management decisions.

That’s where we come in:

  • Herd Management System Implementation - customised to the way YOU think and work (and keep your advisors happy)

  • Herd Management System Training - how to use your Herd Management System to get Big Herd Management-level information

  • Herd Management Reports & Analysis - now that the information is there, how to decode it to use it

02 — DairyBase

You’ve attended the trainings, read the articles - but when, between milkings and fieldwork and (cough) work-life balance, do you have time to start that project?

That’s where we come in:

  • Implementation of the Dairy Standard Chart of Accounts - so you’re able to get the Financial Data DairyBase requires

  • Reminders at year-end - that Physical Data is a count at 30 June, not a guess in September

  • Accountability - to get it done (including support to get it done if that’s what’s holding you back)

  • Review - what does it mean for you and your farm (moral support included)

  • Planning - now you have information you can use to Rise

03 — Organic Certification Preparation & Support

Wondering if Certified Organic is for you? Whether it’s worth it? What the audits will be like and what you need for them? And what about mastitis and nitrogen?

That’s where we come in:

  • ‘What-if’ Scenarios - customised to you and your operation, what the numbers really say for you

  • Organic Conversion Strategic Plan - HOW to get where you want to get (Operating Plan) and WITH WHAT (Budget)

  • Audit Ready - implementation of recordkeeping systems customised to you and how you work, so you know you’ll be ready for the audit

  • Animal Health and Pasture - the management changes that make you ‘organic’

Success doesn’t come from luck, it comes from an informed, determined mindset.
